ALMOST invariably, the Olympic games put their host countries into a strange state of suspended animation. In ancient Greece wars paused and legal disputes were adjourned while athletes competed. In 2012 London’s bustling West End went quiet because residents heeded too avidly the organisers’ pleas to avoid putting pressure on the transport system.

For a while it looked like Rio de Janeiro, which is staging South America’s first Olympic games this week and next, would be an exception. Surely, said pessimists, no sporting spectacular could distract Brazilians from the country’s record recession, its gargantuan corruption scandal and the impeachment of its president. Before the games began even fun-loving cariocas, as inhabitants of the host city are called, were more often heard griping about the games than welcoming them. The money would be better spent on schools, clinics and police, they grumbled.

At a stroke, the mood began to lift with the opening ceremony on August 5th. It lacked Beijing’s pomp and London’s wit (and cost much less than either). But it made up for that with sophisticated simplicity, reminiscent of the modernism of Brazil’s mid-20th-century architecture—set alight with jazzy pyrotechnics. The producers looked outward rather than inward, celebrating Brazil’s cannibal appropriation of other cultures to feed its own creations: bossa nova and the funk of Rio’s favelas (shantytowns), for example. The show summoned its audience to take responsibility for global problems like climate change, but without the preachiness that often goes with such messages. An acoustic rendition of Brazil’s national anthem conveyed solemn acknowledgement of Brazil’s problems, and determination not to let them destroy the country’s pride.

Brazil’s sportsmen vindicated the show’s celebration of diversity. The next day Felipe Wu, a marksman of Chinese descent, put Brazil in the medals table with a silver. On August 8th Rafaela Silva, a black judoka raised in one of Rio’s most violent favelas, won Brazil’s first gold. Even the underwhelming performance of Brazil’s male footballers, who managed two goalless draws against Iraq and South Africa, has not soured moods. The women’s team are on a winning streak.

Some visiting athletes were unnerved by Brazilian fans’ raucousness (especially at such events as table tennis and archery, in which concentration is all-important). But others did not seem to mind. A beach volleyball player from Argentina, Brazil’s bitter rival in all things sporting and otherwise, told O Globo, a newspaper, that she preferred Brazilians’ boos to the silence of European audiences.

Outside the arenas there were glitches, from long queues at security checkpoints to shortages of snacks at food stalls. These have been fixed, more or less. Rio’s transport system has held up. There are no reports so far of infections with Zika, the mysterious virus that can cause birth defects. An outbreak earlier this year caused many spectators and some athletes, including several top golfers, to stay away. The 500,000-odd visitors to Rio appear to be enjoying themselves.

Brazil’s problems have not gone away. Unemployment keeps rising and incomes carry on falling. Politicians have called no Olympic truce. On August 9th the federal senate was poised to approve the final phase of the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, who was suspended from office in May, on charges that she tampered with government accounts. Ms Rousseff has always maintained her innocence, but she will almost certainly be expelled by the end of August. Her vice-president, Michel Temer, who is temporarily in charge (and would succeed her), is barely more popular; he was booed during the opening ceremony. Every day brings fresh revelations in the giant corruption scandal centred on Petrobras, the state-controlled oil company. In the past week newspapers reported that construction bosses who are seeking leniency for their role in the affair have accused Mr Temer and his foreign minister, José Serra, of accepting illicit campaign cash. Both men deny requesting or receiving dodgy donations.

Needless to say, the Olympics will not fix this mess. But for the next fortnight few people will be paying much attention to the country’s political and economic troubles. Brazilians have switched from 24-hour news channels to the two-dozen or so showing live Olympic coverage. The games are giving a weary nation a much-needed pick-me-up.
