Is there an Olympic medal for terrible luck? Because Johnny Quinn would definitely qualify.

The American bobsledder tweeted an image on Monday that showed him trying to pry open an elevator door in Sochi. It seems the Olympic athlete got trapped along with fellow Team USA competitors David Cripps and Nick Cunningham.

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— Johnny Quinn (@JohnnyQuinnUSA) February 10, 2014

Now we're stuck in the elevator! Can @JohnnyQuinnUSA get us out ? pic.twitter.com/sVbyksEXlc— David Cripps (@Crippsee) February 10, 2014

In a very strange coincidence, Quinn got stuck inside his hotel bathroom over the weekend when the door jammed. With no phone to call for help, Quinn busted his way free.

Sochi has caught slack from journalists and athletes for its unpreparedness; many complaints, like unfinished hotel rooms, uncovered manholes and missing doorknobs, are being chronicled via the Twitter account @SochiProblems. But Quinn's luck is making us wonder: Is it Sochi or just him?
