How many hamsters does Phichit have?
Phichit keeps 3 hamsters as pets and has hamster plushies as gifts from the GP Final. His phone case also features a hamster.
Does Yuri win against Phichit?
Yuri beats his personal best by about 10 points in the short program and ends up in the lead.
Since he's not used to being the one to beat, his nerves are especially bad going into the free skate. Phichit wins first place and Yuri wins second.
