Pistol shooter Miguel Barasorda represented Puerto Rico at international competitions for almost 25 years. From 1946 to 1970 Barasorda competed at five editions of the Central American and Caribbean Games, winning a team gold in the club match event in 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica. In 1948 Puerto Rico sent its first delegation of athletes to the Olympics, with nine men competing at the London Games. Barasorda took part in the free pistol event, placing 39th overall. After a break, he returned to the Olympics in 1960 in Roma, once again finishing 39th. His final Olympic appearance came at the 1968 Games in Mexico City; however, Barasorda placed 69th and last of all the competitors.
