... that at the 1965 World Pentathlon Championships, Herbert Polzhuber is said to have drunk 10 beers and a bottle of cognac before firing his pistol at the ground and passing out? Source: several sources: SB Nation (for an English one - "Herbert Polzhuber was a multi-talented athlete who competed for Austria in fencing and pentathlon in four straight Olympic Games. He also took part in the 1965 Pentathlon World Championship in Leipzig. After posting good scores in equestrian and fencing, Polzhuber was set to take part in pistol shooting, the third event. It’s unclear whether nerves, or just a desire to party, fueled Polzhuber, but the result was the same. The story goes that Polzhuber drank 10 beers and downed an entire bottle of cognac before he was set to shoot, at which point he made it onto the pistol course, fired all his bullets into the ground and passed out on the spot.") - plus Hungarian publications Borsodihir and TEOL and German Der Spiegel
