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.

Women's flyweight: Adams raises her arms in victory as she's awarded the fight. A fantastic performance as she makes history to become the first woman to win two boxing titles back-to-back.

Nicola Adams on her gold medal victory:  "The gold rush continues. I can't believe it I am now officially our most accomplished amateur boxer ever and it is such an amazing feeling.

"It is well up there ( with London). They are both on the same level. It takes a lot to win an Olympic medal and I would just like to thank everybody. It feels absolutely amazing. I've made history.

"I'm going to go on a nice holiday, take some time out and think about what comes next."

Men's Football: Nigeria have won their first Olympic medal at Rio 2016, after beating Honduras 3-2 in the bronze medal match. The Brazil v Germany gold medal final gets underway later tonight at 9.30pm.

Men's 80kg Taekwondo: The Briton ends the first round 3-1 to the good. He's in control and will be looking to build upon his lead.

Samuel Lovett20 August 2016 20:18

Men's 80kg Taekwondo: Cho goes flying as the pair lash out at the same time with two kicks. The Briton gets his legs tangled in the Iranian's though and ends up loosing his footing before stepping out of the arena. He's penalised with a yellow card and will need to keep his cool to keep his lead.

Samuel Lovett20 August 2016 20:21

Men's pentathlon: Joe Choong has sadly dropped down in the 3,200m combined run and shoot race. After starting the final event in second, he's dropped down to tenth after his efforts in the shooting range let him down.

Samuel Lovett20 August 2016 22:12

Men's football: The Brazilians are starting to pick up after a slight lull following Meyer's goal. They're getting a real grasp on the game now as they commit more and more players forward. It eventually pays off as Neymar is brought down on the edge of the box and is awarded a free-kick. He steps up to deliver and dinks his effort to the far-post where it's headed back across the goal...and into the hands of Germany's Horn.

Samuel Lovett20 August 2016 23:01

Men's football: A late corner for Brazil after Neymar's effort from the edge of the box is deflected. It's driven in by the superstar but easily cleared by the German defence. It's booted to the half-way line where the whistle blows for extra-time. Another 30 minutes to follow...
