Tokyo Olympics president Yoshiro Mori quits after sexist comments uproar

The head of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic organising committee has resigned, a week after his derogatory comments about women triggered an international backlash.

Mori came under pressure to resign after he complained during a meeting of the Japanese Olympic Committee early this month that talkative women tended to make meetings 'drag on too long'.
