Tokyo – Tokyo Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori is set to resign over sexist remarks that have sparked outrage in Japan and abroad, reports said Thursday.
Multiple major Japanese media outlets, citing anonymous sources, said Mori has told officials of his wish to step down and intends to announce his resignation at a meeting on Friday.
Mori, 83, has come under increasing pressure to step down after he said last week that women “have difficulty” speaking concisely. — AFP
