В период подготовки Олимпиады жители Японии активно поддерживали её проведение, что подтверждали результаты многочисленных исследований. Однако в марте 2020 г. началась пандемия COVID-19, за этим последовали несколько волн распространения инфекции, а соревнования были отложены на год. Вакцинирование в Японии несколько задержалось по сравнению с большинством стран «Большой семёрки». На этом фоне летом 2021 г. в стране начал распространяться наиболее опасный дельта-штамм коронавируса, возросла смертность, в крупных городах возникла опасность переполнения больниц. В сложной эпидемиологической и социальной обстановке опросы жителей зафиксировали отрицательное отношение к проведению Олимпиады. Тем не менее, во время соревнований мнение большинства ещё раз развернулось от отрицательных к положительным оценкам. Главными причинами такой метаморфозы стали спортивные успехи японской сборной и эффективные меры антивирусного контроля. По-видимому, отсутствие зрителей на трибунах не оказало значимого влияния на спортивные достижения. По крайней мере, олимпийская команда Японии завоевала рекордное количество медалей. Меры предотвращения заболеваемости оказались весьма эффективными и позволили избежать передачи вируса от спортсменов друг другу и японскому обслуживающему персоналу. Через неделю после закрытия Олимпиады был отмечен пик заболеваемости, а затем начался её естественный спад. Экономические и символические итоги игр не оправдали ожиданий, поскольку в ходе Олимпиады не удалось раскрыть её значение для завершения «потерянных десятилетий» в развитии Японии, восстановления после катастроф 2011 г. и повышения туристической привлекательности. Всё это говорит о том, что в условиях пандемии крупные спортивные мероприятия могут проводиться не столько для извлечения прямой экономической выгоды или улучшения имиджа страны-организатора, сколько для подготовки спортсменов высшего класса и получения населением удовлетворения от успехов национальной сборной.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in July–September 2021 took place in a challenging social environment that seriously affected the public perception of events. When preparing for the Olympics in 2013–2019, the Japanese people actively supported the Games, which was confirmed by the results of numerous sociological studies. In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic began, followed by several waves of infection. The competition was postponed for a year. Vaccination in Japan was delayed compared to most G7 countries. Against this background, in the summer of 2021, the most dangerous Delta strain of coronavirus began to spread in the country, bringing the rise in mortality rates, and the overflowing of hospitals in large cities. In such a difficult epidemiological and social situation, surveys recorded a negative attitude towards the Olympics. However, during the competition, the majority opinion once again turned positive, mainly due to the athletic successes of the Japanese team and effective anti-virus control measures. The absence of spectators in the venues, most probably, did not affect the sporting achievements significantly. At least, Japanese Olympic team won a record number of medals. Infection prevention measures proved effective in limiting the transmission of the virus among the athletes and the Japanese service personnel. The economic and symbolic achievements of the Games did not meet expectations, as, during the Olympics, it was not possible to properly address its significance as the end point of the low-growth “lost decades”, evidence of economic recovery after the triple disaster of 2011, and as a tool to increase Japan’s tourist attractiveness. Therefore, during a pandemic, major sports events should be held primarily to train top-class athletes and to increase populace satisfaction with the success of the national team rather than to obtain direct economic benefits or improve the host country’s image.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>общественное восприятие Олимпийских игр</kwd><kwd>социальные аспекты спорта</kwd><kwd>Япония</kwd><kwd>олимпийские игры</kwd><kwd>пандемия COVID-19</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>public perception of the Olympic Games</kwd><kwd>social aspects of sports</kwd><kwd>Japan</kwd><kwd>Olympic Games</kwd><kwd>COVID-19 pandemic</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Белов А.В.
