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.She may be unlikely to win a medal, but the photographers will be fighting for her pictures anyway. Sharron Davies, model, television personality and now in her second life as a swimmer, will need to produce the race of her numerous careers to finish in the first three in the 200m medley (heats at 9.0am, final at 5.0pm) but will provide hope for those who believe there can be a successful comeback no matter where she finishes.
A more likely British medallist is Mark Foster, who has a reputation as the fastest swimmer over 20 metres in the world but has yet to last the course sufficiently in the 50m freestyle (heats at 9.0am, final at 5.0pm) to threaten the world's best. A bronze in the last Commonwealth Games and encouraging form offer hope.
