To answer the questions, yep, you did see a kiss. But it wasn't part of their routine or some longstanding tradition from their country. Though it's common to see Ukrainians kiss each other on the cheeks, the kiss on the lips was surprising.

They just completed a routine that earned them sixth in the Olympics. If they want to smooch after their routine to celebrate? Go for it.
