How to get last 3 elements from a list without knowing the length of list

Question

I need to get last three elements of the list without evaluating the length of the list. Following code displays what I expect:

sports = ['cricket', 'football', 'volleyball', 'baseball', 'softball', 'track and field', 'curling', 'ping pong', 'hockey']
last = ['curling', 'ping pong', 'hockey']
