WASHINGTON — Three-time US champion figure skater Johnny Weir will not be competing at the Sochi Olympics, likely bringing an end to his amateur career. US Figure Skating confirmed Tuesday that Weir did not register for the qualifiers for the national championships, where the Olympic team will be selected. The deadline was Sept. 1. Weir also is not eligible for a bye into nationals, which begin Jan. 9 in Boston. According to US Figure Skating, only skaters who placed in the top five at last year's nationals, or won medals at the most recent Olympics or world championships, are eligible. Weir has not competed since withdrawing from last year's Rostelecom Cup. — AP
