TOKYO — Yoshiro Mori, president of the Tokyo Olympic organizing committee, was expected to resign on Friday, a little over a week after he unleashed a firestorm by suggesting that women talk too much in meetings.
His resignation would follow unrelenting international criticism of his sexist remarks, which presented another challenge to Japan’s efforts to carry off the postponed Games amid a raging pandemic.
Mr. Mori has not given any official indication that he will leave, and both the International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo organizing committee declined to comment on Japanese news media reports that he would step down.
