Another Redlands Olympian, Richard (Richie) Rowles boxed in the Light Middleweight division in 2 Olympic Games, Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000. He also went to 2 Commonwealth Games in 1994 to Victoria, Canada bringing home a bronze medal and Kuala Lumpur in 1998. Born in Papua New Guinea, Richie started boxing at 15 with a very clear focus of where he was going in the sport. Coming to Australia, Richie was based at Brisbane"s Language Park Amateur Boxing Club. He was polite, clean cut and had a devastating knockout punch. He became an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder.

RCSHOF is saddened to hear of Billy's passing.

As a former employee of Cycling Qld I know a lot of people will be hurting to see this news. My ❤️ goes out to you all.

The community and the sport are now missing an encyclopaedia .... :(.

A wealth of knowledge and a legend of the sport.

RIP Billy - Admin Carina

Vale.

We're saddened to learn of the passing of Billy Wright (Redlands Cycling and Multisport Club), a life member of AusCycling.

Billy was a beloved and respected figure in the Queensland cycling community, particularly for his extensive contributions to track cycling.

Whether he was officiating a bike race, running training sessions at the velodrome, or racing for victory himself, Billy gave an incredible amount to our sport.

Our thoughts and commiserations are with Billy's family.
