threepeating
Third consecutive championship
Threepeating means winning a championship or major competition three times in a row.
The term was coined and trademarked by Pat Riley after coaching the Los Angeles Lakers, blending "three" with "repeating" to describe consecutive title runs.
Sports commentators and fans use it to describe rare sustained dominance: The dynasty solidified its legacy by threepeating.
The word spawned variants like fourpeat and fivepeat for even longer streaks.
