Now this is how you handle one of those "Sochi problems."

The catch-all term has been used this week primarily to reference the dilapidated, unfinished hotel accommodations journalists found upon arriving in the Winter Olympics' host city this week, becoming the games' dominant story of the past few days. The problems had been mostly experienced by reporters, however, with no athlete-accommodation horror stories making ripples.

That is, until Team USA bobsledder Johnny Quinn stepped out of the shower late Friday night, found himself locked in a tiny bathroom and took matters into his own hands.

Quinn, a former NFL player for the Green Bay Packers, took to Twitter to tell how he escaped the accidental prison and share pictures. He even made up his own creative hashtag:

Quinn's bobsled teammate Dallas Robinson was impressed with his handiwork:

But U.S. skeleton athlete John Daly â€" apparently more of a FOMO-afflicted tech addict â€" had some advice meant to help Quinn navigate modern life:

Quinn and his teammates don't compete until Feb. 16. But, if problems like the jammed door keep arising, he should have no problems staying in top shape until then.
