Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates pays tribute to Jim Stynes on behalf of the Olympic Movement.

Statement from John Coates, President of the Australian Olympic Committee.

"On behalf of the Olympic Movement in Australia I send my deepest condolences to Jim Stynes’ family and friends. As an athlete we admired his tenacity and endurance as he established a record for consecutive games played in the AFL.
