A connection to Taekwondo, allowed Roman Abasy to achieve his dream of representing Afghanistan on the world stage, winning a bronze medal at the 2014 Asian Games. But the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in August 2021, would take his life in a different direction. His post-athlete work involved dedicating himself to human rights advocacy, founding a charity to help promote access to sports, particularly for young women. That work made him a target of the Taliban - and with the help of the Australian Olympic Committee, he resettled in Australia as a refugee. Three years on, he has returned to helping improve access to sports at the grassroots level for refugees and migrants. He spoke with Biwa Kwan about his journey - and the power of sport to help refugees succeed.

In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the Australian sporting community, former world champion and two-time Olympian cyclist Melissa Hoskins, 32, lost her life after being struck by a car in Adelaide. Following the announcement of her death by the Australian Olympic Committee, it was soon reported that her husband, Rohan Dennis, 33, a former Olympian and world champion himself, has been arrested and charged in relation to the incident.    Hoskins, who represented Australia in the team pursuit event at both the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, was involved in the fatal accident on Saturday. She was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital but tragically succumbed to her injuries.    According to the South Australia Police, a 33-year-old man, known to the victim, was arrested following the crash that occurred in the Adelaide suburb of Medindie after 8 p.m. on Saturday. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life. The police statement did not disclose the identities of the individuals involved, but various media outlets have widely reported them as Rohan Dennis and Melissa Hoskins.    The police report further reveals that the woman suffered serious injuries and subsequently passed away in the hospital, marking the 114th life lost on South Australian roads this year, compared to 71 at the same time last year. The driver has been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 13 March.    A spokesperson for the South Australia Police declined to confirm the identities involved, stating, "We are unable to confirm identities in SA." Additionally, a contact listed on Rohan Dennis' website has yet to respond to inquiries for comment.    The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, had retired from their cycling careers and were parents to two children, as depicted in Dennis' Instagram account. His last post on Christmas featured a family photo in front of a decorated tree, captioned, "Merry Christmas from our family to yours."    Melissa Hoskins had achieved considerable success in her cycling career, with a notable highlight being her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships in France. Her contribution to the sport extended beyond her competitive years, as AusCyling chief executive Marne Fechner stated, "Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career, but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around. Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community."    As the investigation into this tragic incident unfolds, the Australian sporting world mourns the loss of a talented athlete and extends its sympathies to the family and friends of Melissa Hoskins, while her husband, Rohan Dennis, faces legal proceedings related to the charges brought against him.

Following the announcement of her death by the Australian Olympic Committee, it was soon reported that her husband, Rohan Dennis, 33, a former Olympian and world champion himself, has been arrested and charged in relation to the incident.    Hoskins, who represented Australia in the team pursuit event at both the 2012 London and 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, was involved in the fatal accident on Saturday. She was rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital but tragically succumbed to her injuries.    According to the South Australia Police, a 33-year-old man, known to the victim, was arrested following the crash that occurred in the Adelaide suburb of Medindie after 8 p.m. on Saturday. He has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, driving without due care, and endangering life. The police statement did not disclose the identities of the individuals involved, but various media outlets have widely reported them as Rohan Dennis and Melissa Hoskins.    The police report further reveals that the woman suffered serious injuries and subsequently passed away in the hospital, marking the 114th life lost on South Australian roads this year, compared to 71 at the same time last year. The driver has been bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 13 March.    A spokesperson for the South Australia Police declined to confirm the identities involved, stating, "We are unable to confirm identities in SA." Additionally, a contact listed on Rohan Dennis' website has yet to respond to inquiries for comment.    The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, had retired from their cycling careers and were parents to two children, as depicted in Dennis' Instagram account. His last post on Christmas featured a family photo in front of a decorated tree, captioned, "Merry Christmas from our family to yours."    Melissa Hoskins had achieved considerable success in her cycling career, with a notable highlight being her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships in France. Her contribution to the sport extended beyond her competitive years, as AusCyling chief executive Marne Fechner stated, "Melissa described her team pursuit gold medal at the 2015 world championships as the highlight of her career, but for the rest of us, the highlight was just having her around. Although she retired in 2017, her presence as an alumnus of the sport has been felt and appreciated by many in the cycling and riding community."    As the investigation into this tragic incident unfolds, the Australian sporting world mourns the loss of a talented athlete and extends its sympathies to the family and friends of Melissa Hoskins, while her husband, Rohan Dennis, faces legal proceedings related to the charges brought against him.

As the first man in nearly 100 years to win Olympic medals in the 200, 400, and 1500 freestyle events, which he achieved in Atlanta in 1996, Daniel Kowalski is one of the greatest mid-distance / distance swimmers ever. A star in swimming-crazed Australia, in perhaps the golden era of Australia's rich swimming history, it would be easy to think that after he won gold on the 4x200m relay at the Sydney Olympics that Daniel Kowalski would retire from swimming with zero regrets. But Daniel Kowalski battled depression as he struggled with a feeling of failure for his silver medal in the 1500 in Atlanta, developed an eating disorder, and endured the life of a closeted gay man still years away from coming out. In the years since, he's been able to oust that negativity and is involved in swimming as a member of the Australian Olympic Committee and World Aquatics Athlete Commission where he serves the betterment of the sport and its athletes. Enjoy!
