Someone from OpenAI contacted me and informed me the claim is mistaken, they actually did wait until after the closing ceremony for exactly this reason.

Debating how I feel about this - I was going to cover the IMO result tomorrow but if this is true then there's a strong argument to wait until Google's results are verified so as not to reward defection. Thoughts?
On reflection, given there are others who are delaying their announcements a week at the IMO's request, I am going to postpone coverage until after the other announcements, and cover everyone together next week.
