TOKYO (AP) — Seiko Hashimoto has been elected president of the Japanese Olympic Committee, becoming the first woman to head the body. She is a former Olympian and was elected late Thursday to replace Yasuhiro Yamashita, who served three terms.
On the 26th, the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) selected former Minister of State for the Olympics and Sports, Senator Seiko Hashimoto (60), as its new president. Ms. Hashimoto was elected at a board meeting in Tokyo. She will be the first female president, and her term of office will be two years.
