The Tokyo Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games has revealed that the number of people who have declined to volunteer for the Games has risen to about 1,000 after making a statement that could be taken as a woman's disdain for former President Mori.
At the Tokyo Games, we hired about 80,000 tournament volunteers called "field casts" who are active in competition venues and the Olympic Village.
According to the Organizing Committee, the number of tournament volunteers who declined to participate after the 4th of this month after Mr. Morimae made a statement that he could be regarded as a woman's disdain was revealed that Mr. Morimae had decided to resign this month 11 It was about 740 until the day, but it has increased since then, and by the 23rd it has reached about 1000.
On the other hand, some of the people who declined have offered to be resurrected, so the Organizing Committee has decided to invite them to participate based on the circumstances in which former Chairman Mori resigned.
Masanori Takaya, a spokesperson for the Organizing Committee, said, "I am very sorry for those who offered to decline, but I would like to thank many people for remaining as volunteers. There is no problem in running the tournament."
