On 18 February, the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee set sail into a new era – that of the presidency of seven-time Olympian Hashimoto Seiko, unanimously appointed by the Tokyo 2020 Executive Board (EB). With less than four months to go to the Olympic Games, the new Tokyo 2020 President is wasting little time, having already added 12 women to the Organising Committee’s EB as the first step in her commitment to gender equality and female empowerment.
