FORECAST: More of the same, with a high of 88 degrees, partly
cloudy skies and a 40% chance of rain.
HOT TICKET: Women's basketball quarterfinals, afternoon session
(BK23231). Competition enters the medal round, and the heavily
favored U.S. faces a Japanese team that was 2-3 in round-robin
play. In the second half of the doubleheader, Russia (4-1) meets
Australia (3-2).
DOUBLE DOWN ... After an off day, track resumes in earnest when
Gail Devers, winner of the women's 100 meters, goes for her
second gold, in the 100 hurdles. And 400 winner Michael Johnson
is scheduled for a pair of 200 qualifying runs.

SPOTLIGHT ON...
LANCE ARMSTRONG
The U.S.'s top cyclist pedals for gold in the 137.7-mile road
race, which winds through the streets of Buckhead. Armstrong,
24, who dropped out of this month's Tour de France with
bronchitis, will also compete in Saturday's individual time
trial, a four-lap race run over the same 8.1-mile course.
