Gonzala Aurora Bretón Gómez (10 January 1950 – 27 May 2014) was a Mexican archer who represented her country in four Olympic games (1972, 1984, 1988 and 1992); won two silver and five broze medals in Pan American Games and eight gold and two silver medals in Central American and Caribbean Games.
After retiring from international competitions, she worked as Olympic coach, briefly served as sports commentator for a television network during the 2012 Summer Olympics and, controversially, chaired the Mexican Archery Federation, where she was forced to resign after being charged with visa fraud by the United States government and accused of sexual harassment by the family of an underage female athlete.
Aurora Bretón was born on 10 January 1950 in Mexico to Amado Enrique Bretón Gómez and Anselma Gómez Jiménez. She trained with fellow Olympian José Almanzor —grandfather of Luis Eduardo Vélez— and won nine national championships in her home country.
Internationally, she won two silver medals while competing in teams in three Pan American Games: first along María Fernández and Ofelia Ávila in Indianapolis 1987, and then in Havana 1991 along Alejandra García and Miriam Véliz. Individually, she won two bronze medals in Caracas 1983 (in recurve 60 and 70 meters) and three bronze medals in Havana 1991 (in recurve, recurve 30 and 70 meters).
