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.Track cycling and rowing should provide Great Britain's best medal chances today.
The track cycling begins with both the men's and women's Team Pursuit events. Britain won the men's event at Beijing four years ago and Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny will hope to retain their title, with Philip Hindes now with them. Their qualification is at 4.15pm and final at 6.15pm. Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Varnish compete in the women's equivalent, qualifying at 4pm, with the final at 5.59pm.
At Eton Dorney, the likeliest medallists are the men's lightweight four, made up of Peter Chambers, Richard Chambers, Rob Williams and Chris Bartley. They race at 12.10pm.
