Lapped athletes should stay to the inside unless otherwise specified in pre-race instructions. It’s better for the leader to go around than get tangled up (which is especially likely to happen outdoors).

Especially likely to happen *indoors* (excuse me).
They’re in the same race as her and also competing, they have every right to the inside lane if they’re already established there.
It’s also likely that the WR holder had to go outside to pass people too.
If someone is about to get lapped they are no longer in the race for the win. They are an also-ran and an afterthought. They need to move to lane 3 and not interfere with the runner(s) going for the win.
This is what i am like at my local track, any hobby jogger in lane 1 is getting a warning the first time and a jab in the ribs the second. I mean do they not know who i am?

Looks like you'll be running the second half of every race in lane 3 then.
I hope you don't obstruct some runners, while offering others a free passage, when the lead pack laps you.

If a runner is good enough to lap me, I am more than happy to get out of his way. It’s called courtesy and respect.
Dibaba's records continue to barely withstand these challenges. Kipyegon missed the outdoor 1500 by .30 in Monaco last year but has vowed to try again this year.

I have a better idea, once a person or team is more than 20 meters back just pull them off the track. All that matters is 1st.

No. You do not know how many runners are behind you. If there is a pack of 5 behind you and you only move to lane 3, you have really screwed up the race if anyone is trying to pass in that pack.
Unless you are willing to move out to like lane 8, 20 meters in advance of when the runners get there, stay inside and let runners pass you. Maybe it cost someone a record by .0X seconds, but better that than costing someone the win who is trying to pass and gets tangled up because you tried to move out to lane 3 like a noob.
