[SPOILERS] 'Yuri!!! On Ice' Episode 8 EARLY PREVIEW - Yuri Plisetsky Tops Short Program! [WATCH HERE]

Yuri on Ice Episode 8 will reveal the competition between two archrivals Yuri Plitsetsky and Yuri Katsuki. It was reported that Yurio (Yuri Plitsetsky) will top the short program in Russia.

Previously, Yuri On Ice Episode 7 concluded with Yuri ranking second to Phichit Chulanot, and Christophe Giacometti third. Yuri was taken over by too much pressure since he ranked first placed in China Cup. With Viktor's encouragement, Yuri was able to take on the pressure and perform. Although, there was some mishaps on Yuri's performance, the revelation of Yuri doing the quadruple flip opens new opportunity for Yuri to win gold in Russia.

But, reports states that Yurio will take first place instead of Yuri. With the homecourt advantage, Yurio performed his performance flawlessly. Yurio performed what Viktor thought him "On Love: Agape" while Yuri did "On Love: Eros." Since Yurio has been training with one of the best ballerinas in the world, a great improvement from Yurio will be witnessed.

Also, reports speculated that Christophe Giacometti will be the complete villain in Yuri's journey in Russia. Yuri On Ice Episode 8 will reveal the hostility of Chris to Yuri, and he will be more of the bad guy compared before. He will make Yuri realize that keeping Viktor as a coach will have no cost at all, and will get more hate from Viktor's fans.

Yuri On Ice Episode 8 entitled "Yuri Vs Yuri! The Horror!! Rostelecom Cup, Short Program" airs Wednesday, November 23. Yuri and Viktor will do whatever it takes to win Gold in the Rostelecom Cup in Russia. Witness the two rivals battle it all out to win Viktor's heart.
