A Marathon Just to Reach the Starting Line in London - NYTimes.com: "Bedford said the London Marathon organizers paid $230,000 to ensure the most competitive field would be there. The majority was for a $170,000 charter flight from Madrid that brought 20 runners from Africa and Europe, including the reigning Olympic champions Sammy Wanjiru of Kenya (also the defending London champion) and Constantina Dita of Romania. All 20 wheelchair athletes were in London or on their way, Bedford said."
