A judge said Dennis had disregarded his wife's safety, but was not criminally responsible for her death.
Former world champion cyclist Rohan Dennis has been given a two-year suspended sentence over a car incident in Australia which killed his wife, fellow Olympian Melissa Hoskins.
On Wednesday, Judge Press emphasised that Dennis was not criminally responsible for causing Hoskins' death, and accepted he was remorseful.
I accept you have anguished over what could have been different if you had acted in some other way," Judge Press said.
Speaking outside court, Peter and Amanda Hoskins said they missed their daughter "terribly".
