Off the top of my head Georgia Simmerling of Canada has competed in Alpine Skiing, Freestyle Skiing and Track Cycling (where she won a bronze medal). Technically two sports and three discipline.

You mean after Jaqueline Mourão (mountain bike, cross-country skiing, biathlon)? :p (and probably more athletes :p )

 

Edit: Like Simmerling as well.

Yesterday the Swimming Marathon World Cup started in Doha (QAT)

 

and it was quite a Dutch show, with both wins going to Sharon Van Rouwendaal among the women and Ferry Weertman among the men (where 1500m Freestyle Olympic Champion Gregorio Paltrinieri made his world cup debut...and it was a quite encouraging one)...

 

here are the Full Results:
