The Japanese Minister for the Olympic Games,

Seiko Hashimoto

, has been elected new president of the Tokyo Olympic Games after the sexist scandal carried out by the previous person in charge,

Yoshiro Mori

, who resigned from his position last Friday after the controversy unleashed by his comments last week, during a meeting of the leadership of the aforementioned body.

The top Japanese Olympic official accused women of speaking a lot in meetings, which even led him to suggest that their speaking time be "slightly restricted" due to their "difficulty in finishing" their speeches, something "annoying."

"If we increase the number of female board members, we have to make sure their speaking time is restricted a little bit, they have a hard time finishing, which is annoying. We have about seven women on the organizing committee, but they all understand their place. "said the Japanese according to local media.

Mori apologized and initially rejected the possibility of resigning.

However, the wave of criticism in the country ended with his dismissal.
