I knew about sculpture (Walter Winans), Running Deer (Walter Winans again...a true polymath) and Ski Patrol. I didn't know about Live Pigeon but it seems it was...only the once. But interesting that two misses meant elimination. Which AFAIK has then NOT been carried on to DTL clay shooting this "two misses and out"?

The only time live pigeon shooting featured at the Olympics was in 1900 at the Paris Games. As the name suggests, actual live pigeons were used. Competitors had to shoot as many birds as possible; after missing two in a row, the shooter would be eliminated.
