This thread was born out of a conversation about Diana Davis in Alina Zagitova's Fan Fest.
hippomoomin had commented about how much Diana looks like her mother (Eteri Tutberidze), and in reply russianfan posted a link to a video about the nicknames of Russian skaters, which said that Diana's nickname is actually “Eteri Junior”.
Unfortunately, the video was entirely in Cyrillic, with no translation. But, AKTKN very kindly offered to translate the video.
And that started me thinking. Back in the 2011-12 season, there was a thread on here about skaters' nicknames. So, perhaps it was time for a new edition.
So, to start, below are the translations of two videos containing the nicknames of Russian skaters.
All translations were done by AKTKN
I should warn you: Having read through the lists, I am starting to think that some of these are not the skaters' actual nicknames, but rather what they are called by members of Russian fora. Because some of them are more than a bit tongue-in-cheek, and I just cannot imagine somebody using these particular ones to the person’s face. (Well, not if they don’t want to get slapped!)
But, it is still very interesting to read through.

So, has anybody got any other (*real*) nicknames of skaters?

P.S. One particular translation has just made me decide that now would be a good time to post another thread that I have been saving up for the past few weeks…
