An American bobsledder is the latest Olympic athlete to face difficulties with facilities at the Sochi winter Games, forced to smash through a bathroom door after accidentally locking himself inside.

Johnny Quinn posted a photo onto Twitter of the destroyed door with the hashtag #SochiJailBreak, saying he used his sporting prowess to free himself.

"I was taking a shower and the door got locked/jammed… With no phone to call for help, I used my bobsled push training to break out," Quinn said.
