Prefix with "athlete" (3)

I believe the answer is:

tri

(Other definitions for tri that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning three" , "Prefix denoting three" , "Prefix indicating three" , "Denotes three" , "Three-point" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
