This was supposed to be a week of celebration in Tokyo.  Japan would be opening its doors to the world and launching the 32nd Olympiad in the capital. Instead, the postponement of the Games

 

 amid the Covid-19 pandemic means the wait goes on before new Olympic heroes emerge, unfamiliar sports captivate, and legendary Olympic moments are made. 

There is much to look forward to if and when the Games do begin on July 23, 2021, but it makes us long for what we missed this summer even more.

I got up and brought my breakfast into the studio 

to watch Day 4 of the July Sumo Basho, here.

I've explained my fascination in blogs, here and here.

Hakuho is the top guy now, strong and experienced.

During today's match, I heard the announcer say

"large and in charge", and that's the source of today's title.

 

Asanoyama, is younger and on his way.

I have my team of young ones who I think will make it.

I'm sure you needed to know that?

TMI? Maybe the videos below will make up for it?

•   A  1-1/2 min. video, 6-yr-old Miumiu, guitarist-singer, here.
•  A great 2-minute video, 8 yr, old on finance, here.
•  A very sweet 2-minute video, Brayton hears a sax, here

Smiles for Friday ...
