Only ten days until the Olympics Games 2008. On August 8, we sport fans will be ready and excited for the games. But do you have any idea where Olympics will be held?
That’s right, an indoor arena called Workers Indoor Arena will host the boxing event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The place is located west of the Workers Stadium in Beijing, China.
It is one of the 11 Beijing-based venues to be renovated and upgraded for the Olympics. The capacity of this arena is of 13,000 seating.
