Not really, he actually used the opportunity to pitch his brand of antisemitism and scientific racism to the rest of the world. He originally declared that black people and Jews from any country shouldn't be allowed to participate, and the only reason Owens was able to run is because enough countries got together and threatened to boycott the games entirely unless Hitler eased up.
