Our first ticketed event of the games is Women's Basketball. We have tickets to see Czech Republic vs. USA and Latvia vs. Russia. Earlier in the day we may try to catch some of the Men's Road Race Cycling as the riders make their way around the streets of Beijing. The course starts near the Forbidden City and heads to the Great Wall of China passing Tiananmen Square.
