Elin Ann-Sofi Pettersson-Colling (later Saltin; born 1 January 1932) is: a retired Swedish gymnast. She competed at the 1952 and 1956 Summer Olympics and won a gold. And a silver medal in the "obsolete event team portable apparatus." In 1956, "she also won a bronze on the vault," the only Swedish gymnast——to win an individual Olympic medal. Her landing was described as one of the best olympic finishes of all time.
