A veteran who knows the ins and outs of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, or a new, young face to give the impression that the organizing committee is starting afresh?
That is the question now hanging over the Tokyo Organising Committee panel tasked with selecting the successor to its former president, Yoshiro Mori, who resigned Friday over sexist remarks earlier this month. Chaired by the committee's Honorary Chairman Fujio Mitarai, 85, on Tuesday it held a meeting to begin the search for the replacement.
The eight-member panel is expected to discuss the selection criteria first and then come up with a candidate, or candidates, to step into the role.
