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.Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent will race this weekend in their new combination, the coxless four with Tim Foster and James Cracknell, in the yellow jerseys as leaders entering the third and final round of the Fisa Caesar World Cup in Lucerne.
Their successors in the coxless pair, Ben Hunt-Davis and Bobbie Thatcher, also lead their competition, by one point from Croatia. The rest of the British team starts the regatta in overall second place, but most will be concerned to secure selection for the World Championships in France in September.
Three single scullers from Britain are on the fringe of the top group. Guin Batten, fifth in Atlanta, came out from Henley after losing in the final of the Princess Royal Cup. Greg Searle, new to the single, gained experience in four side by side races at Henley and looked better than he has on the Continental circuit in the summer. Jane Hall is in the lightweight single after failing to make the Olympics in the double scull last year.
