Olympic bobsledder Johnny Quinn may be more known for his unfortunate luck of getting stuck in tight spots.
Quinn famously had to bust out of a Sochi bathroom after becoming locked inside days before competition.

Following that incident, Quinn and his teammates were trapped in an elevator when the doors wouldn't open -- forcing Quinn to pry them apart.

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
The Denton, Texas, native came to visit his hometown station of KXAS in Dallas-Fort Worth to do a live interview about his experiences in Russia -- including his habit of getting trapped.
So the producers at KXAS decided to have a little fun with the Olympian -- and locked the door to the green room with Quinn (and KXAS photographers) inside.
The result was another Twitter post that made Quinn look like the least luckiest door opener ever.

However, it was all a ruse. Quinn would have been able to open the door at any time. Even the Olympian's tweet describing the incident was playing into our prank.
Then again, seeing the bobsledder in person, we have no doubt he could have gotten out through the door again.
