I actually agree with this and I think WA should step in and structure it purposely. I don't see why every race needs a pacemaker - I don't actually understand how when it comes to the DL final that this race in particular has a pacemaker when in essence it's a championship/title race.
We have 8 DL 1500m/mile races this season including the final in Eugene which absolutely shouldn't be paced, I don't see why 2-3 of these other 7 races can't be "no-pace, no-wavelight" races. Not only does it give chances to guys in that 4-10 level to potentially grab a few better finishes (I don't know if it changes that Jakob will be at the front at the finish anyways), but then it also makes the paced attempts more exclusive and special.
I don't think it's a rule but there are a few things going against this. Meets still "compete" vs each other for the most preferred TV slots and the rankings are done on combined scores from events so faster races = more points. Some meets aren't established/set in stone DL level and need names in their fields. Take the 1500 - even in a slower, championship race how many of the field is capable of winning/hitting the podium? I think most athletes still prioritize times vs placings, especially when the money in spots 4-8 isn't that great/differentiated. But the biggest thing is the star athlete - in this case Jakob. A lot of his appearances in these meets are term contract situations (like Lausanne, 150k for 3 years of appearances) and part of those contracts are pacing. He could in theory say no but why would he? - his best chance of winning/easiest path to winning is to have 2 guys towing him out in 1.51.
It's weird because we have seen this before in particular with El G where for a number of seasons the races really were boring. Yes the field is much closer to J.I than it was to Hicham but there is still the same feeling of inevitability at play when you start seeing the field strung out through 1000m. Some of those late 90's/early 2000's Golden League races were kind of comical with him winning at times by 30-40m. Once or twice a season it's cool to see - not every race.
That's why I think a larger strategy needs to be employed and yeah, a predetermined pacing structure employed looking at the entire season of races.
