Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Kenyans and Americans will be to the fore in the 800 metres, with champion Paul Ereng and America's Mark Everett hoping to pull back Johnny Gray's early pace.

Marie-Jose Perec of France should prevail over one lap, but Jamaica's new hope Sandie Richards may surprise. The men's discus will be a Russo-German affair, with Lars Reidl a favourite. First day for the decathlon.

World champion Deng Yapin should contest the women's table tennis final against Korean or fellow Chinese opposition. In fencing the Unified Team (CIS) will be pressed by France and Hungary in the men's team foil.
