Mr. Mori, the chairman of the Organizing Committee, said at the JOC = Japan Olympic Committee's Board of Trustees, taking as an example the Japan Rugby Football Union, where he was the chairman and honorary chairman, I apologized for withdrawing my remarks on the 4th.
In response to this, Mayumi Taniguchi, one of the five female directors of the Japan Rugby Union, who has been in office for the second year, responded to an online interview saying, "I think I accidentally slipped, but at the Olympics and Paralympics. It's sad and disappointing that the top of the host country sees women that way. It's a feeling beyond resentment. "
"The female director of the association reads the air at the meeting, but is dominated by the air and does not shut up or put it in a circle. Even if he makes a harsh statement, he will eventually develop the rugby world. We recognize that it is necessary to transform a male-centered association, "he emphasized the idea that the increase in female directors is having a positive impact on the entire organization.
He added, "I don't think there will be any development in sports if women are neglected. To eliminate prejudice and discrimination, don't give up what you have to say."
Saori Yoshida "I'm sorry to say that the players are worried."
Saori Yoshida, who won the Olympic Games for the third time in a row in wrestling and won the National Honor Award, said, "I was aware of the wonderfulness of the Olympic Games regardless of gender. Such a statement is disappointing. I think it's really hard to think that the athletes who believe in the event and are working hard in less than half a year until the Olympics are worried. "
