The Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee appointed 12 new female members for its executive board on March 3, as it tries to reach a new gender diversity goal and shake a sexism scandal.
The members include Naoko Takahashi, an Olympic marathon gold medalist, and Kuniko Obinata, a Paralympic alpine ski gold medalist.
After former organizing committee chief Yoshiro Mori resigned from his position after coming under fire for making sexist remarks about women, the new committee president, Seiko Hashimoto, set a goal of raising the representation of women on its executive board to 40 percent as part of its gender equality efforts.
