Yes, but not with any element of surprise Who'd thought it be Sofia?Shouldn't that be a Lipnistkaya?? Or Medvedeva? Or Zagitova??? Blah is basically a russian tradition by now!
Who'd thought it be Sofia?

@SmallFairy if your vikings are kicking out #TeamD of home soil worlds, as it seems right now, I will not speak for 2 days with you!
Don‘t forget about her shoutout to Hase after winning nationals!Somehow, it’s perfectly fitting that the most interesting thing Mari has done in the last 2 years is talk about her electric toothbrush for 15 minutes on instagram.

This is originally part of a post I made elsewhere, but FWIW, off the ice and out of the heat of the moment of competition, they still as of late seem to be happy and connected to each other.
This was posted as a story on the ISU instagram earlier today, I think from before the medal ceremony. They came across as distant in the K&C, but they seem to be literally clinging to each other here:

The GPF also didn't go well for them, but they seem happy here--Vladimir's even smiling. From davesskatingphoto.com

This was their part of a video that was made at Russian nationals with the skaters giving Christmas greetings. She's looking at him with goofy eyes.

Then, the at about 5:42 during the medal ceremony at Russian nationals, he rubs her arm in a way that does not read as platonic skating partners.

They also seemed happy and relaxed when they were in Italy for the show they did a few weeks ago.
In experience as a grown up for almost two decades, if two people have broken up, they're not doing cuddly hugs, or making goofy eyes, or being handsy in a medal ceremony. I think nothing has changed with them off-ice out of competition.
I think they came into this season with a lot of skating baggage from last season and then probably have a lot of external pressure on themselves this season. It seems like with each progressive imperfect skate, they both just withdraw and shutdown in the moment. It's a recipe to feel and look miserable competing. Most every skater has a season like this at some point, and most of them pull out of it eventually and are stronger for it.
