Tenley Albright was the first female American figure skater to win a gold medal in the Olympic Games. Though never a professional skater, she entered and won the 1956 Olympic Games. What we love about Tenley was that she didn’t stop there—she went on to study medicine, graduating from Harvard Medical School in 1961. She then became a surgeon.
The center medallion cable motif on this sweater reflects Tenley Albright’s Olympic success. The twisted cables on either side evoke the caduceus, the familiar symbol of the medical profession.

We hope you’ll find Tenley a very wearable sweater. The slouchy cowl neck makes it a great pick for cold days, but the cable and rib pattern throughout the body still gives you a flattering, shapely silhouette. Tenley is perfect for watching a figure skating show at the arena, or just for taking a walk on a crisp winter day.
