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.

David Hauss of France claimed his first World Cup victory yesterday when he took the ITU Ishigaki title, erasing a 50-second deficit after the bike ride to win this Olympic qualifier in 1hr 50min 6sec.

Italy's Davide Uccellari finished second, four seconds behind, while Gonzalo Raul Tellechea of Argentina took third in 1:50:19.

"After the bike, I thought it would be really hard for me," Hauss said of his run. "But I was in good shape and flying, so after two laps I controlled the race, I really enjoyed the last lap."

In the women's race, Canada's Kathy Tremblay won her first World Cup title in 2:05:38. Aileen Morrison of Ireland finished second, 20 seconds behind Tremblay, while Sarah-Anne Brault, also of Canada, was third in 2:06:03.

The points from the Ishigaki mean Canada has a good chance to send two women to London.
