So Jakob wanted to have a wildcard for the DL final - the Zurich meeting also wanted him to run (they asked the DL, if he could get a wildcard).
He was not allowed to have the wildcard as he didn't compete in the DL this season.
However, Zurich can hire whoever they want as a pacemaker (eg they hired Gesa Krause - not too shabby herself - for the 3000sc).
And since Jakob really sees himself as the pacemaker ...
But jokes aside - if he really wanted to run, why not go that way?
