Kenyan Samuel Wanjiru, whose scintillating performance in the Beijing Olympics men's marathon earned him the gold medal, left Beijing on Aug. 26, returning to Kenya on board the Kenyan national team's chartered plane. Having earned Kenya's first-ever Olympic gold medal in the marathon, Wanjiru returned to Kenya to attend a celebration in his honor at the home of the Kenyan president. Wanjiru attended high school and ran professionally in Japan and had planned a victory press conference in Osaka for Aug. 26, but the press conference was cancelled in light of the president's invitation.
