U.S. bobsledder's hashtag #Quinning goes viral
Did you recently destroy a door? Rip open a package with Hulk-like strength? Demolish a cereal box? Well, then you've been #Quinning, #Quinning, #Quinning!
The Twitter hashtag has picked up speed over the last few days in honor of Team USA bobsledder Johnny Quinn, who tore down a bathroom door in a Sochi hotel and lived to tweet about it. After posting a photo of the door's aftermath, the shenanigans went viral, getting retweeted nearly 30,000 times.

This woman was one of the first to post a photo of her own experience with #Quinning. The Olympian appears to be having some fun with the Internet trend, retweeting several of the photos with the #Quinning hashtag.
So the husby decided to go all @JohnnyQuinnUSA on this bottle of Moscato... #quinning #datenight pic.twitter.com/UIPohrmPxu
