Tokyo Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori reportedly to resign amid backlash over sexist remarks February 11, 2021 / 5:06 AM / CBS/AP Questions about plans for Tokyo Olympics Tokyo  The long saga of Japan s embattled Olympics boss Yoshiro Mori appeared to be near an end on Thursday. Japan s Kyodo news agency and others reported citing unnamed sources that Mori was to step down on Friday as the president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee.   The move would follow a backlash over sexist comments he made about women more than a week ago, and an ensuing and rare public debate in Japan about gender equality.   A decision was expected to be announced on Friday when the organizing committee s executive board meets. The executive board of Tokyo 2020 is overwhelming male, as is its day-to-day leadership.
