Japan's Tokyo Olympics Minister, Seiko Hashimoto, has been nominated to be the new chief of Tokyo 2020 organizing committee. The former Olympian is expected to succeed Yoshiro Mori, who resigned last week over sexist remarks. The change comes five months before the postponed 2020 Tokyo Games is scheduled to take place in July.
