A U.S. bobsledder who had to break down his hotel's bathroom door last week, after being trapped inside with no phone to call for help, apparently got stuck in a confined space in Sochi — again.
"No one is going to believe this but we just got stuck in an elevator," bobsledder Johnny Quinn said in a Twitter message.
In case no one could believe it, Quinn also posted a picture of himself trying to pry open the elevator door.
This time, teammates Nick Cunningham and David Cripps also got trapped along with Quinn.
"Now we're stuck in the elevator! Can [Quinn] get us out?" Cripps said in a Twitter message.
"Of course I'm with [Quinn] when the elevator door breaks and we get stuck! Good thing I'm with him!" said Cunningham.
Last Friday, Quinn had to smash a giant hole through his bathroom door after becoming trapped in his hotel bathroom.
"I used my bobsled push training to break out," Quinn tweeted after the incident last Friday, posting a picture of the remnants of a bathroom door.
Cripps tweeted later on Monday that the three teammates "managed to get out of the elevator and take in some moguls."
The tweet gave no information about the condition of the elevator door in the wake of their rescue. A team spokesman confirmed that Quinn did get caught stuck in an elevator before dinner, but managed to get out without having to destroy anything, The Associated Press reported.
With any luck, the bobsledding competition will get off to a smoother start when it kicks off Feb. 16.
