TOKYO (Reuters) -- Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike said on Friday the Olympic Games were facing a "major issue" after the head of the organizing committee made sexist remarks and as criticism of his comments showed no sign of abating.
Yoshiro Mori, 83, set off a firestorm on social media both at home and abroad this week with comments that women talked too much, remarks made in a meeting with the Japan Olympic Committee (JOC) that he later retracted and apologized for but refused to resign over.
