Borrero burst into the shooting scene at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where he edged out his compatriot Norbelis Bárzaga by four tenths of a point margin to take the silver medal in the free pistol, accumulating a score of 639.3. Despite losing to gold to U.S. shooter Daryl Szarenski, who achieved the slot earlier from the 2002 World Championships, Borrero grabbed one of the available Olympic slots to compete for the Cuban team.[3][4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Borrero scored 535 points to nearly escape from the end of the field for a fortieth-place finish in the free pistol prelims, failing to advance further into the final.[5]
