American bobsledder Quinn gets stuck in an elevator just two days after breaking his way out of hotel bathroom in Sochi

Just two days after breaking through a broken bathroom door in his hotel, American bobsledder Johnny Quinn found himself trapped in an elevator at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The unlucky Olympian and team-mates Nick Cunningham David Cripps got stuck on Monday morning and decided to document the incident on Twitter while waiting for help.

Quinn tweeted: 'No one is going to believe this but we just got stuck in an elevator. Ask @BOBSLEDR and @Crippsee who were there...'

British bobsledder Rebekah Wilson went to take an elevator Saturday, but the doors opened to an empty shaft.
