The Vertical — Individual Descent
Nobody — including whoever runs this site — can change what happens in an event once it has been scheduled. Here is how you can check that for yourself.
When this event was created the server drew a random seed and a random salt, kept both private, and published this hash of them. It has been on the event page from that moment.

The event has finished, so the seed and salt are now public.

✓ MATCHES THE PUBLISHED COMMITMENT
The result is produced by running the physics simulation with that seed, this course and this field. The simulation is deterministic: the same three inputs always produce the same race, down to the frame.
Which means: if the published commitment matches the revealed seed, and the field below matches what was declared before the start, then the result you watched is the only result that seed could have produced.
