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.The long jump final sees the battle rejoined between Mike Powell, Carl Lewis and the world record. The young Cuban, Ivan Pedroso, could mount a surprise attack. The women's 200 metres final should feature substantially the same figures who contested the 100m.
Also from that field, Gail Devers runs in the 100m hurdles. The compact American won silver at last year's world championships and faces the same in-form favourite, Lyudmila Narozhilenko of the Unified Team.
The second day of the decathlon should give Dave Johnson the chance to pull through in the absence of his US compatriot Dan O'Brien.
Jan-Ove Waldner and Jorgen Persson, winners of the past two world titles, could make it an all-Swedish final in the men's table tennis.
