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.Sir Chris Hoy won his second medal of the track World Cup in Kazakhstan yesterday with gold in the sprint. It joined Saturday's keirin silver in the four-time Olympic champion's locker.
And there was another medal for the British team as Dani King claimed silver in the women's omnium. It meant a total of three medals in a relatively low-key weekend for the British teams at the first of the four-event series.
Hoy, who pulled out of last month's European Championships with a chest infection, appears to have fully recovered.
The Briton produced a sub-10sec ride in qualifying for the sprint and was only really troubled in his semi-final against Germany's Robert Forstemann when he needed to come from behind in a best-of-three series to secure a place in the final.
But Hoy dispatched Russia's Denis Dmitriev in straight races in the gold-medal race. PA
