This just means there would be no-one left running for most third world
countries. Anyone approaching elite status would just take out US (etc)
citizenship..
I reckon I'd be rushing to the Brunei or Gulf states embassies myself...

How about a "per capita" award structure? In other words, the inner of the
NY
Marathon gets a precentage of the average yearly per capita income of his or
her country, w/ lower places getting smaller percentages. Thus, if some guy
from the US wins he takes home $50,000; if he's from Ethiopia, he gets about
$600.
Wish I could take credit for this idea, but I can't. Good one, though.
