John Coates has retained the Australian Olympic Committee presidency, defeating challenger Danni Roche in Saturday's election.
Coates won the vote 58-35 at the AOC annual general meeting in Sydney to keep the presidency he has held since 1990.
He will also retain his International Olympic Committee vice-presidency as a result of winning the vote.
"Thankyou very much for the confidence that you have shown in me," Coates told the meeting after being congratulated by Roche.
After a bitter election campaign including claims of widespread bullying within the AOC, Coates now faces the task of uniting a split Olympic movement.
The 66-year-old's tenure as president will now stretch to three decades with Coates previously signalling he will step aside after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Coates addressed the annual general meeting for more than 30 minutes.
But he didn't refer to the challenge from Roche, an Olympic hockey gold medallist who gained traction campaigning to lower the AOC's running costs and divert more funds to athletes.
Roche targeted Coates' $715,000 a year salary, which is now expected to be reviewed.
Coates and the AOC executive have also agreed to independent reviews into the AOC's workplace practices after claims of bullying.
Long-time AOC media director Mike Tancred, a staunch Coates ally, has stood down from his role pending the outcome of a bullying claim against him by former AOC chief executive Fiona de Jong.
De Jong, who left the AOC last December, also outlined a dozen cases of alleged workplace bullying since 2004 in the AOC.
