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.Yohan Blake sprung a second surprise in three days as he beat Usain Bolt once again - this time over 200 metres.
Two days after clocking 9.75 seconds to beat Bolt over 100m at the Jamaican National Championships and Olympic trials, Blake won the 200m too in a time of 19.80s.
World and Olympic champion Bolt, who was second in 19.83 to qualify for his second event at London 2012, was quick to congratulate his friend on the track.
Warren Weir was third in 20.03.
It was a similar story in the women's 200m, as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won in 22.10 to complete a sprint double of her own.
Sherone Simpson was second in 22.37, while Veronica Campbell-Brown will get to defend the title she won in 2004 and 2008 after she ran 22.42 to finish third.
