Yoshiro Mori’s comments about women were “inappropriate”, the International Olympics Committee has said, but it has not called for the Tokyo 2020 organising committee president to stand down.

Mori, 83, apologised last week for saying women talked too much and that meetings with female board directors took a lot of time.
