(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Ho-joon Kim = Seiko Hashimoto, the new chairman of the organizing committee for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, said on the 18th, “I am deeply reflecting on the controversy that forced a male figure skater to kiss.”
He said this at a press conference that evening after the election process for the chairman of the organizing committee was over.
Hashimoto, the president of the Japan Skating Federation, embraced and kissed Daisuke Takahashi, a male figure skater, at a party at the athlete’s village after the closing ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, which was criticized in a Japanese weekly magazine.
Chairman Hashimoto was elected as the replacement of former chairman Yoshiro Mori, who resigned after excommunicating “female contempt” at the board of directors of the organizing committee that day.
He expressed his ambition at the board of directors, saying, “We will have a system that can be considered as a safety and security Tokyo Games.”
(Tokyo Support News/AFP=Yonhap News) Japanese government’s Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Minister Seiko Hashimoto visits Tokyo Prime Minister’s residence on the 18th and meets reporters shortly after submitting his resignation letter to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Hashimoto was elected chairman of the organizing committee of the new Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games on this day. Since the Japanese government’s ministers cannot serve as public interest corporations such as the organizing committee, they must withdraw from the Olympic Prize in order to become chairman of the organizing committee.

In the press conference that followed, he emphasized, “We will steadily promote diversity, gender equality, the Olympic principles on all issues, and the Olympic movement.”
Chairman Hashimoto is a former female speed skater.
According to Kyodo News, Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters at the Prime Minister’s residence that day, “I hope (Chairman Hashimoto) will do everything possible toward a security and safety contest that is welcomed by the people and the world.”
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a speech about Hashimoto’s inauguration, saying, “We have an excellent Olympic experience and are the best people.”
