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.BUILDING on their success in Nagano, the Olympic silver medallist Ole Christian Furuseth led a Norwegian sweep of the podium in Yong Pyong, South Korea, yesterday, claiming his first World Cup slalom win in almost three years.
One of the original members of the "Attacking Vikings", the 31-year-old veteran of the Norwegian team, who is enjoying one of the best seasons of his long career, followed up his second place at the Winter Games with his first World Cup win since 1995 in Bormio, Italy.
Furuseth, leading after the first run, posted only the ninth-best time on his second trip down the Rainbow course, but still crossed more than a half-second clear of his team-mate Finn-Christian Jagge in a two-run combined time of 1min 39.15sec. The world champion, Tom Stiansen, finished third in 1:40.21.
