US bobsledder Johnny Quinn gets stuck in Sochi — again

US bobsledder Johnny Quinn is fast becoming a household name, not so much for his ability in the bobsled, but more for his skills in breaking out of small, enclosed spaces.

Quinn made international headlines during the weekend after he tweeted a photo of a bathroom door — or what was left of it — after he had just busted through it at the Olympic Village in Sochi. The photo went viral, receiving more than 29,000 retweets and 16,331 favorites.

The 30-year-old from McKinney, Texas perhaps also used some of the tackling skills he picked up during his former life as a professional footballer.

In case you missed the story, here’s what Quinn had to say about his experience.

“My neighbors are my two other teammates on the bobsled, so I was banging on the wall, trying to get their attention and — nothing, nothing,” he said during an interview with CNN.

“Not so much panic because I had running water, but I was sitting there banging on random parts of the wall to see if I could, you know, catch somebody’s attention and, as I’m banging on random parts going around the bathroom, I kind of hit the door and it cracks.

“So I go a little bit harder and my fist goes through the door. So I see light and I’m like, ‘Okay, time to get out of here now.’"

Incredibly, barely 48 hours later the brakeman got stuck again — this time in an elevator.

Quinn tweeted a photo of himself trying to pry open the door.

"No one is going to believe this but we got stuck in an elevator," Quinn wrote.

A team spokesperson confirmed that Quinn had indeed been temporarily stuck in the lift.

While it's not clear how he and his teammates escaped, the spokesperson said neither Quinn nor the door were harmed. 

 "… on race day I'll make sure that I shower with the door open and probably take the stairs," Quinn told CNN's Piers Morgan. The bobsled competition starts on Feb. 16. 

He might want to carry a small crowbar around. Just in case.  

Of course, Quinn is hardly alone in his misadventures at Sochi. The problems with the accommodation for athletes, journalists and spectators have been well documented.

In a separate incident at the weekend, the British two-woman bobsled team almost lost one of its members when Rebekah Wilson went take an elevator, only to find an open shaft.
