The Wild West may have made the confrontations famous, but pistol dueling made an appearance at the Olympics, during the unofficial 1906 Intercalated Games held in Athens. Confusingly, the event consisted of no actual dueling as individuals merely shot at plaster dummies dressed in frock coats from a distance of 20 or 30 meters. It may sound bizarre, but an Australian poll held before Sydney 2000 found that 32% wanted to see the sport revived at the Summer Games.
