He is considered one of the fastest professional open water swimmers in the world, finishing near the top of FINA World Cup races for the 10 km marathon. He also won a bronze medal for his category at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro. ==Career== Do Carmo qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after placing sixth in the 10 km Marathon Swimming Olympic test event at Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park. He swam in the first-ever Olympic men's 10 km open water marathon, against a field of 24 other competitors, including former pool swimmers Petar Stoychev of Bulgaria and Thomas Lurz of Germany. Do Carmo finished the race in fourteenth place, with a time of 1:52:16.6, approximately twenty-five seconds behind winner Maarten van der Weijden of the Netherlands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.2008.nbcolympics.com/swimming/resultsandschedules/rsc=SWM119100/index.html )〕 In 2010, do Carmo narrowly missed out of the medal podium, when he finished fourth for the 10 km open water marathon at the Pan Pacific Championships in Long Beach, California, United States, with a time of 1:56:04.67, two minutes behind Canada's Richard Weinberger.
