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.After claiming three gold medals at London 2012, Allyson Felix has little left to prove.
The 27-year-old American 200-metre runner – the only other triple gold medallist, along with Usain Bolt, inside the Olympic Stadium last summer – had been set to compete today against the Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce at the BT GreatCity Games in Manchester over a rare straight 150m, a battle between the world’s best sprinters.
An injury to the Jamaican has ruled her out and Felix said: “It’s a shame she wasn’t able to run as this is a race with a difference. It’s pretty good to be back. England’s always going to be a very special place for me.”
