And then decide against peeling off? Is that allowed?
Pretty sure a pacer or two have won DLs before, but could be wrong.
They discussed the ethics of this on the athletes’ lounge stream. The other runners don’t try to beat the pacemaker because it’s assumed they will drop out.

personally I think if they are not willing to try and follow the pace being set then they can have no complaints if the pacemaker caries on and is strong enough to maintain a gap.
If he broke the world record as pacemaker would everybody celebrate or cry foul?
Anyone that likes Ingebrigtsen would celebrate as would any other serious fan of the sport. Why in the world would anyone cry foul? It’s actually negative cheating as it would be comparable to running a time 2 seconds faster.
The fans would've liked it but Jakob is already a controversial athlete. I imagine he didn't want to risk further ill will from the Diamond League and the other athletes by bait-and-switching them.

Yeah that's true, but to be fair to the pacer, they're only running that fast because an athlete requested it. Pacers don't try to win because it's assumed that athletes will follow a pacer, and they won't be able to hold on. I say let them try if they want, because you incentivize people to actually go with the pacer. You also incentivize people to request sensible paces.
