The men were way over what was requested for the 800m mark, correct? The woman pacer dropped out way before the 800m turnaround to let Sinclaire Johnson do her thing.
As fit as Hoey is, he probably needed to get out faster for the WR.

The men (probably Hoey) requested 1:54 (thus probably targeting the 3:51.3 road mile WR), which would have put the women at 2:12-2:13 (per Chavez commentary) in consideration of a 31sec head start.
The timer shown in the broadcast (in the bottom right hand of the window) didn’t start until the women had already been running for ~7secs. Johnson hit the turnaround at 2:12 per the timer. Hoey hit the turnaround at 2:02 per the timer.
