Excerpt: Isabella Minna Veronica Wagner, better known as Veronica, (born July 7, 1987 in Stockholm, Sweden), is a Gymnast who competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics as a member of the Swedish Olympic team. She is coached by Staffan Soderberg. Veronica started Gymnastics at the age of 5 and progressed quickly through the sports levels, qualifying as an International Elite at the age of 12. Veronica is Sweden's most successful gymnast, having won the national title 7 times (2002, 2004-2008 and 2011) as well as representing her country at Olympic, World Championship and European Championship level. Veronica has also been a finalist at several World Cup events and the 2009 World All Around Final.

Veronica stated in an interview with International Gymnast Magazine that her goals for 2007 were to win a World Cup Medal and qualify to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Veronica achieved both of these goals.

She also had World Cup success in 2007. She won the silver medal on Vault at the Maribor World Cup, held in Slovenia and two Gold medals (Vault and Balance Beam) and a Bronze (Floor) at the Buenos Aires World Cup. After winning the Swedish Championships in June 2008, Veronica was told that the Swedish Olympic Committee would
