Tokyo 2020 chief Yoshiro Mori resigns over sexist comments

Tokyo 2020 Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori resigned Friday after making sexist comments that caused an international outcry with less than six months until the virus-postponed Games.

"My inappropriate statement has caused a lot of chaos... I wish to resign as president as of today," he told a meeting of Tokyo 2020's council and executive board called to discuss his remarks. -Agence France-Presse
