Special Report:   2008 Beijing Olympics

Workers' Gymnasium in Beijing is undergoing renovations to be the boxing venue for the 2008 Olympics.

Most of the renovations target the main structure of the gym. State-of-the-art security systems and fire alarms will be installed. Bigger, more comfortable seats will replace the old ones. The gymnasium was built in the early 1960s.

After it's renovated, it can be used for another twenty years. When the Beijing Olympics finishes, the venue will mainly be used for theatre performances.
