Louise Stokes and Tydie Pickett served as the first two African-American women to qualify for an Olympic team at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles.  The two women were famous because of racial prejudices still in effect in the South that limited Black athletes.

American Golds in Pairs are very hard to come across. The medals won by Americans in the Pairs are:\nBronze: Jill Watson and Peter Oppegard (Calgary 1988)\nSilver: Kitty and Peter Carruthers (Sarajevo 1984)\nBronze: Nancy and Roland Ludington (Squaw Valley 1960)\nSilver: Karol Estelle and Michael Kennedy (Oslo 1952)\nSilver: Beatrix Loughran and Sherwin Badger (Lake Placid 1932)\nSo in simple terms, no, the USA has never won a gold in the Pairs competition
