DOMINIQUE DAWES & DOMINIQUE MOCEANU

DOMINIQUE DAWES
3-TIME OLYMPIAN / OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST
2005 Gymnastics Hall of Fame Induction
President of the Women’s Sports Foundation
Dominique Helena Moceanu (born September 30, 1981 in Hollywood, California) is an American gymnast of Romanian descent who was a member of the Olympic Gold medal winning 1996 U.S. Women's Gymnastics team in Atlanta (the "Magnificent 7").
The hallmarks of Moceanu's gymnastics, in the early stage of her elite career, were daring tricks on balance beam and spunky, inspired presentation on floor exercise. In the latter part of her elite career, under the direction of new coaches, she developed a more elegant, mature style. Although she was never considered to be an overwhelmingly innovative gymnast, she did display a high level of difficulty in her gymnastics, particularly on beam and floor.

if you are referring to gymnastics, there is Dominique Moceanu. but she is not black, however she did have a teammate named Dominique Dawes who was black. Moceanu was the youngest gymnast ever in the olympics i believe (age 14). the only medals either one won were team gold
