Tokyo 2020 president Yoshiro Mori in Tokyo
LONDON (Reuters) – Sexist comments by Tokyo Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori are further evidence that the whole sporting system needs a shake-up, Women’s Sport Trust chief executive Tammy Parlour said on Thursday.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Mori, 83, apologised for saying women talked too much in meetings but said he would not resign despite a storm of criticism on social media.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it considered the issue closed.
“The athletes that I’ve spoken to have been in utter disbelief as far as the comments go, but this sort of attitude and these sort of comments have been happening behind the scenes for years, for decades,” Parlour told Reuters.
