I dunno. Nagano just has been doing Shingos. His recent failures seem more because of mistakes more than age. I mean the last six times he failed the First Stage it's been because of Shingos. If Nagano can judge himself right, then he'll do better. Kanno, Kongu, Yamamoto, Akiyama, Yamada, Urushihara, Hashimoto, Tajima, and I guess Sato are slumping too. He's in the big group, and he's slumping... Big Time!

He's in the big group, and he's slumping... Big Time! (Aside from the fact you took a week to think this though) Only Nagano, Akiyama, Yamada, Yamamoto (arguable), Tajima (arugable) and Kanno (arguable) could be considered a slump. Prior to 26 Kongu hadn't failed the 1st Stage since 22. That's not a slump, that's bad luck failing the Escargot (which took out nearly half the field). Yamamoto's arguable because he always flutters around. 19-22 was his slump. Hashimoto had a slip-up....on the 2nd Stage. When has 2 2nd Stage failures with two tournaments between them been considered a slump? Since 21 he's alternated failing the 1st and 2nd stages. This time, the "pattern" still fit because he failed the JS (which he's failed before). Urushihara is the definition of bad luck and nerves. 1 or 2 tournaments of weird failures shouldn't be considered slumps, and you need a dictionary if you think so. It's when you have things like multiple fails like Akiyama or Yamada without a 1st stage clear, or 4 out of 5 of the same stage like Nagano. Once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, it's when you get the 3rd time or greater that you take note.

Japanese competitors are in a slump in general.

I don't think so, he still looks in great shape, and I don't think he's nervous or he's lacking confidence, he's a veteran after all, maybe a lack of concentration, or he underestimated the obstacle, maybe he went "light" on the first stage trying to save his energy up for later stages, but I'm pretty sure he can still nail it.

It could explain his not high enough jumps. He must've been dizzy after the Rolling Escargot.

His recent fall on the jumping spider, that was a 19 deal. Hardly anyone cleared in 19 because they altered familiar obstacles and made them slightly (or a lot) trickier, the log, the pole, the JS, the chute. Most people were used to that lower jumping spider from 24, it was higher this time and add the fact that it hadn't been there for one tournament.
