The hashtag #Quinning has been created for the social media star after his infamous broken door incident in Sochi that started it all.

After Quinn posted the image to Twitter, it quickly went viral, getting more than 25,000 retweets within hours and spawning a slew of Quinn-wannabes who posted their own #Quinning moments.

This woman tweeted her husband’s attempt to emulate the bobsledding star on their date night, which Quinn himself found amusing enough to retweet.

Other #Quinning moments shared on social media ranged from cereal box carnage to massacring tough-to-open envelopes.
