The "Comité Paralímpico de Puerto Rico, COPAPUR" (English: Puerto Rico
Paralympic Committee) was established in 1995, although the country's first
official participation in a Paralympic event was in 1988."

Regarding the actual flag, Zach mentions the following URL (https://twitter.com/ComiteOlimpico/status/989522693191061504),
which is a tweet from the Comité Olímpico PUR (English: Puerto Rico Olympic
Committee official Twitter account ( @ComiteOlimpico,
https://twitter.com/ComiteOlimpico).
In fact, that tweet shows a picture (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dbt9pEUW0AIehEl.jpg)
in which a set of three flags is seen, from left to right: Olympic Flag, Puerto
Rico flag and Puerto Rico Paralympic Committee (obverse).
Here's also
another picture (https://scontent.feoh4-2.fna.fbcdn.net/,

https://www.facebook.com/PURParalimpico) which displays the Puerto Rico
Olympic Committee flag (third flag from left to right) in a more visible angle.
And here's another picture (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dbt9pksW4AUFsCW.jpg,

Before the coming Olympic games in Beijing, Russian TV
started series of sport programs about former Olympic games.
Yesterday I saw a report about XIV games in 1948. Puerto Rico
team used white flag with seal
and red inscription "Puerto-Rico".

Puerto Rico marched with the US flag and with a unknown flag
as seen in this photo. You
have an idea of which flag it is?
Fabio Montermini, 15 October 2004
I saw a similar flag (could be the same) flown during an
Olympic parade. it was white with a seal
in the middle and the full name of Puerto Rico at the top.

The Official Report of the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki at www.aafla.com
states: "....Puerto Rico after having used the U.S.A. flag
on the arrival of her team in Helsinki, acquired while the Games
were in progress the national flag to which her new independence
entitled her."

I'm presenting you very proudly the flag of our local soccer
association of the PR central region, with headquarters at my
city of Caguas. It is called the Puerto Rico Soccer Central
Association (A.C.B.P.R. - Asociación Central de Balompié de
Puerto Rico.) It was founded in 1980, at Caguas by Prof. Mickey
Jiménez.
The flag is a light orange - white - yellow vertical triband of
equal widths, with the Association logo at the center of the
white band. The logo consists of a typical Spanish shield, square
at the top and semicircular at the bottom, quartered by a double
cross of equal lengths, white the top one over a very dark blue
one, the last thrice the width of the first. The first and third
quarters are dark gray; the second and fourth quarters light
blue. At the center of the cross is a typical soccer ball, with
white hexagons and very dark blue pentagons, in such a position
that an upright pentagon is facing forward. At the top of the
shield, at its right and left extremes, are two very dark blue
small solid circles, and between them is written in capital
letters "FUNDADA EN 1980" (founded in 1980). Above it,
in very large capital letters, defaced by four white lines in
descending order of width and starting at the center of the
letters, is written "ACBPR" (the Association's Spanish
initials.) Bordering the shield from its upper right side through
its upper left side are the words "ASOCIACION CENTRAL DE
BALOMPIE DE PUERTO RICO." All the letters are in very dark
blue color.
The Association is really a big social arena - or oratorical, as
Prof. Jiménez likes to say - focused in pulling young children
and adolescents away from the streets and its associated
viciousness and moral corruption.
The mission: to promote and offer innovative and excellent
programs for the encouragement and development of organized
soccer, taking as fundamental basis the sport moral ethics and
the emotional, social and spiritual aspects and needs of the
participants and their families, in such a way that it brings
about for them effective benefits toward a better quality of
living.
Goal: to become completely effective, by means of its soccer and
other special programs, in the spiritual and humane shaping of
the participant children, youngsters and adults population, and
to be an example of integral well-being for future generations.
Values: to care with dedication for the needs of our
member-players and its community, as they would require, and
their social, psychological and spiritual needs, through the
teaching-and-learning process of soccer, based on the effort,
respect and love toward their essential being and dignity.
Motto: Beyond the goal.!

The burgee of "Federación de Vela de Puerto Rico" can
be seen on the Federation website.
The burgee is based on the Puerto-Rico national flag. It is red
with a blue triangle charged with a white star placed along the
hoist. The triangle is fimbriated in white and there is also an
horizontal white stripe spreading all over the red field and
connected to the triangle fimbriation.

At this same Federation
website you can see a small rendition of a burgee identified
as the Puerto Rico's Nautical Club (Club Náutico de Puerto
Rico.) This burgee is completely different to the one shown by
José
Alegría in his Nautical Flags website. I cannot
attest about the official status of this burgee. This could be a
new flag, substituting the one on Alegría's.
