Sport: The Week in Review
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.

In the final they will meet Brazil, who proved too strong for both the Netherlands and Sweden.
Damon Hill edges out the world championship leader, Michael Schumacher, at Silverstone to win the British Grand Prix, something his late father, Graham, never managed.
Warwickshire win the Benson and Hedges Cup in a disappointingly one-sided final against Worcestershire at Lord's.
Miguel Indurain pedals towards a record-equalling fourth Tour de France in a row, but Britain's Chris Boardman retires.
Nick Faldo all but blows his chances of a fourth Open Championship by playing the wrong ball on the penultimate hole of the first round at Turnberry. He makes amends, however, with a second- round 66.
