U.S. bobsledder Johnny Quinn can’t seem to catch a break at the Olympics, though he’s not getting stuck during his sport — but repeatedly in the crummy infrastructure of Sochi.
Quinn was locked in a hotel bathroom on Saturday, causing him to use nothing but his strength to bust through the door. He tweeted the incident and it soon went viral.

That seems like an amusing and rare occurrence, but Quinn got stuck again on Monday, this time in an elevator with fellow teammate Nick Cunningham and bobsled Technical Director David Cripps.
No one is going to believe this but we just got stuck in an elevator. Ask @BOBSLEDR and @Crippsee who were there… pic.twitter.com/Rwg57CBbUU

These doors seem a little harder to break through than the bathroom door. Maybe this is all some ploy by the Russians to trap other athletes so they can’t compete.
