Carlos Dolmo (Bronx, N.Y./Blast Double NY) has been named TheMat.com Wrestler of the Week for Aug. 24-30.

Each week, TheMat.com will select an Athlete of the Week, based upon performance within wrestling for that week. The selection committee will consider any level of wrestling, from youth programs through the Senior level.

Dolmo won a bronze medal in the Over 85 kg/187.5 lbs division, the top U.S. performance at the 2010 Beach World Championships on Aug. 29 in Budva, Montenegro.

Dolmo defeated K. Charalabos of Georgia, 2-1 in the bronze-medal match. It was his second career Beach World medal, to go with another bronze medal in 2007.

Dolmo finished the tournament with a 3-1 record. His only loss came in the second round to Fatjo Baro of Albania. He won two consecutive matches in the repechage to win the medal.

Dolmo joins Jeff Funicello (Mesa, Ariz./American Pankration) as a two-time World bronze medalist for the United States in Beach wrestling.
