The American Team USA bobsledder posted a photo of the aftermath on Twitter, using the hashtag #sochijailbreak.

In a tweet, the 30-year-old wrote: "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."

His tweet has been shared over 3,000 times.

Team mate Justin Olsen said Quinn had tried "everything" before he eventually burst through the door. He wrote on Facebook: "My team-mate and room-mate had an issue with our door. I knew something would happen.

"I wasn't there to help him out, at the gym. Trust me, he tried everything."
