    China unveiled the venue where team USA will go for the gold in basketball today (Tuesday).

    Construction workers completed the Beijing Olympic basketball gymnasium last month, and opened it to foreign press today.

    The 18,000 seat arena is alongside the olympic baseball site in the Wukesong culture and sports center.

    The gymnasium will hold a women’s basketball test event in April.  It is one of 31 olympic venues already completed.

    The iconic “Bird’s Nest” national stadium, the only unfinished venue, is due for completion in March.
