ATHLETICS:World women's record holder Paula Radcliffe will seek a fourth win in the London marathon on April 13th in a dress rehearsal for the Beijing Olympics.

Radcliffe, 34, who won the 2002, 2003 and 2005 races, will run against Gete Wami, the Ethiopian she beat to the line in last November's New York marathon.

Norwegian Ingrid Kristiansen won the London race four times between 1984 and 1988.

"I love running in front of my home crowd and I know that winning a fourth time would give me just the boost I need before the Olympic Games in August," Radcliffe said yesterday. "The London field is always competitive but that's what I need to be at my best in Beijing."
