OLYMPICS / Barcelona 1992: Late buses
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.FOR some, just getting there has proved as hard as winning a medal. No fewer than 15 teams complained that the buses taking them to events on the first two days either got lost on the way or were simply late. 'It is complete chaos,' the German delegation leader, Ulrich Feldhoff said. The Games organisers, who have drafted in 200 taxi drivers and policemen to guide the bus drivers, responded rather huffily. 'Twenty cases is a very low percentage statistically speaking,' a spokesman said. So that's all right then.
