No he didn’t. Owens openly talked about how Hitler treated him with more respect than FDR did.

Thorpe was a good athlete but did ever face African American athletes? His achievements happened during segregation.

I must point out that Jesse Owens didn't see a lot of other African American athletes during his time either. Peacock and Metcalf were really good but he was mostly competing against White dudes.
Probably the main thing to consider is that the caliber of athlete between 1912 and 1936 really improved as far as the Olympics were concerned.
