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.

ALISTER ALLAN, bronze medallist at Los Angeles and silver medallist at Seoul crashed from second place to 38th in the three-position rifle shooting.

Allan, 48, started brilliantly, with 399 out of 400 to lie second after the prone shooting. But he was left standing in the standing, section scoring just 361 to slide rapidly backwards. And a final 380 in the kneeling left him with a disappointing total of 1,140, well behind the personal best of 1,181 he set in Seoul behind Malcolm Cooper.

Gratchia Petikian of Armenia won the gold for the Unified Team, beating Bob Foth of the United States on the last shot.
