All skaters who train in Tutberidze team name her Panik. Now all the people from the world of figure skating named her Panik. It's a well known fact.
I see that you have a bit of a fantasy about how well known she is globally.

So what? It is pretty usual that you shorten a name to some obvious nickname like Zagi, Panik or Radi.
It would be funny if they would start call Zagi "Hamster" or Panik "go-go" since she likes to dance.
Tell what you want about domestic inflation, but the moment this girl gets out to an international competition she receives her personal best score.
By the way, who has told you that Dasha did better than Nastia Gubanova? Haven't seen any videos from test skates but people said at the time that Nastia was amazing which is why she got 2 JGP spots even though her last season wasn't great and she didn't do very well at the Junior Nationals.
Considering this season Dasha clearly is better than Nastia. Of course, PCS-wise Nastia is uncomparable to any other Russian junior maybe except Polina and even most of the seniors, but we are talking about sport: here the fact that Dasha skated ALL her competitions (5 at least+Open Skates) with back-to-back clean SP AND LP, and Nastia did not do both clean SP and LP in any competition. Dasha, in fact, showed even better consistency than Medvedeva. We'll see if it remains; she looks almost fully grown already and her mother is rather petite.
This is SECOND result at junior circuit in the history (after Alina's 207.43 @ JGPF2016), bravo Darya!!! Everything that occurs around Darya in Russia is politicking!

It's a sad fact... Daria was in Sofia without her coaches. Mom was with her there. Dasha with her mother Natalia is in the photo (St. Petersburg, Russian Junior Nationals):

why is that a sad fact?
Congratulations to Dunya with first international gold medal!
Dunya is NOT a nickname it's another name. It's like call Zhenya Gena... You can't change their names
EVERYTHING can be a nickname.
The official name of my dog is General Balthazar von Lusthausen, but everyone calls him Bobo. So why that big thing about calling her Dunya?
