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,[1] the only Swedish gymnast to win an individual Olympic medal.[2] Her landing was described as one of the best olympic finishes of all time. [3]
Pettersson was the national champion in 1951 to 1958 and sportswoman of the year in 1955. She later married Bengt Saltin, a sports scientist, and worked as a doctor.[2]
