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.A welcome corrective to the triumphalist narratives about action, glory and physical perfection, more usually found in sports photography, Paul Floyd Blake's unvarnished portraits of 16 teenaged British Olympic hopefuls – taken over five years and artlessly posed – have a contemplative, even forlorn quality.
As she writes in her introduction, the curator Pippa Oldfield sees in these pictures "the repetition and banality of training: the 5am sessions squeezed in before school, the chilly British mornings .... These images pay tribute to the long slog towards glory that is not usually seen or celebrated." Shown left, in 2011, and above, in 2008, is judo player Brandon Tutthill
