Gaudelia Díaz

Gaudelia Díaz Romero (born in 1964) is a Mexican former paralympic athlete who competed mainly in category B1 distance events.

[2] She began practicing various sports as a child, including skating, soccer and gymnastics, but gave up the last one because of the need to see the parallel bars.

[3] Around 1981, Díaz met Sergio Andrade [es], a Mexican record producer, and both composed "Suavemente", which was selected for the 1982 OTI Festival and made it to the finals.

According to an interview given to Mara Patricia Castañeda, Díaz said that Andrade psychologically humiliated her when she made mistakes in her singing or piano playing, including one occasion at the World Popular Song Festival in Japan where he threatened to break her arm to justify why she could not play the piano on that occasion.

[4] As of 2021, Díaz has stated that she is single and living in Acapulco, where she aids visually impaired children with musical education.
