(Mainichi/Daiki Takikawa) TOKYO Amid concerns over whether Tokyo should hold the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games during the coronavirus pandemic, Kaori Yamaguchi, an executive board member of the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), said Feb. 22 that she thinks organizers should abandon the idea of having spectators attend the games from overseas. Speaking to the Mainichi Shimbun by telephone, Yamaguchi said, The public has experienced a repeated rise and fall in infections. Even when the state of emergency is lifted, it won t be easy to dispel concerns of another infection spread.

Japan s media join forces in rare show of solidarity to attack Mori over sexist remarks

Feb 20, 2021 On Feb. 3, when former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, then-president of the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, explained his sexist views on how women act in meetings, he was speaking at an extraordinary meeting of the Japanese Olympic Committee Council that the media could only watch remotely, and which they were not allowed to record. Had it been a regular meeting of the JOC, they would have been banned completely. However, reporters soon had access to the minutes and conveyed Mori’s startling remarks to the world. Mori had attended in order to provide his “private opinion” about the government’s directive to increase female participation on executive boards of sports organizations, including the council, to at least 40%. He said that increasing female membership might be counterproductive since women take too much time expressing themselves. Reportedly, some people in the room reacted with laughter.

Japan s Olympic Challenge Could Be a Great Comeback Story for Tokyo

Japan’s Olympic Challenge Could Be a Great Comeback Story for Tokyo The Tokyo Olympics present the opportunity of the decade for Japan. When former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made remarks at the 125th session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in September 2013, he said that the essence of the Olympic spirit “taught [Japan] that legacy is not just about buildings, not even about national projects. It is about global vision and investment in people.” Of course, at the time, Abe could not foresee that just seven years later, a menacing pandemic would ravage the world, engendering global immobility in the form of travel restrictions and economic turmoil, and prompting Japan to make the difficult albeit necessary decision to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics by a year.
