Tokyo: Tokyo 2020 Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori said he was resigning on Friday over sexist comments, and his anointed successor has reportedly turned down the job after public criticism, less than six months before the troubled Games are scheduled to start.
Mori, a former Japanese prime minister, sparked a global outcry with sexist comments made during an Olympic committee meeting earlier this month that women talk too much.
“If my presence causes trouble, our efforts so far have been brought to nothing,” Mori told a meeting of senior officials of the Organising Committee.
Japan's Olympics Minister, Seiko Hashimoto, is being considered as a possible candidate to replace Yoshiro Mori after his expected resignation as head of the Tokyo Olympic organising committee, Kyodo News reported on Friday.
