US President Donald Trump is heading to Ohio to watch high school students compete in the Patriot Games, a sporting event set up by his administration to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding.
Two teenagers were picked from every US state to compete in the games, which are taking place in the city of Geneva, about 50 miles (80km) north of Cleveland.
Some military bases, Native American tribes and US territories are also participating.
To qualify, competitors were required to answer questions about American patriotism. The winners, one boy and one girl between the ages of 14 to 17, will each receive $125,000 (£93,000) in scholarship money.
On Tuesday, Trump will attend the final day of the games, to see the top 32 athletes compete in the final round.
