ALBERTVILLE, France -- Two minutes of footage from a camera on Michael
Schumachers ski helmet showed the Formula One great was clearly skiing off a
groomed trail when he lost his balance and crashed, leaving him with critical
head injuries, investigators said Wednesday.

investigators said they have ruled out problems with his skis, trail conditions
or signage. Although they would not estimate Schumachers speed, they said it was
not considered a significant factor in the Dec. 29 crash at Meribel in the
French Alps. "His pace was completely normal for a skilled skier," said Lt. Col.
Benoit Vinneman. Schumacher, 45, the most successful Formula One driver in
history, is still in critical condition in a medically induced coma at a
hospital in Grenoble. The impact of the crash split his helmet in two and
doctors say the protective gear saved his life. Prosecutor Patrick Quincy said
experts still need to go through the footage image by image, but he said
Schumacher landed 9 metres (30 feet) outside the marked trail after falling face
down and striking his head on a rock. Schumacher had been on a family vacation
in Meribel, where he owns a chalet. "Michael Schumacher is a good skier who
knows Meribel," Quincy said. Skiers and snowboarders continue to use the zone
where Schumacher crashed, but say they know they need to be careful. British
tourist Steve Bovill said he always wears a helmet. Speaking from the sunny
mountainside, he said, "It was an accident that could have happened to anyone."
Quincy said the investigation, which is standard after any major skiing
accident, had no deadline and was intended to discover what happened, not
necessarily fix blame. Without specifying, he said authorities plan to interview
more witnesses. Schumachers 14-year-old son Mick was also skiing in their small
group Quincy said investigators would call in experts to review the footage from
Schumachers helmet cam. The cameras, which count snowboarder Shaun White and
skier Lindsey Vonn among their promoters, have become increasingly popular in
adventure sports. They generally mount on the outside of the helmet or elsewhere
on the body and, as investigators pointed out in the Schumacher case, tend to
have a fairly narrow field of vision. Footage from the devices has been used in
investigations before, including the deaths of two Icelandic skydivers killed in
Florida last year. In that case, the footage showed that one of the skydivers
had tried to save the second just before they both died.

third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and
broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked
easier than it really was," Ivanovic said.
Deryk Engelland Jersey . "It doesnt get any
better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward
October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth
inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on
Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card
race.

the World Junior Hockey Championship, is the top-ranked skater in the February
rankings. He has 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points in 45 games with the
Colts this season.TAMPA, Fla. -- Frans Nielsen scored the only shootout goal and
assisted on a second-period score by Thomas Vanek in a 2-1 victory for the New
York Islanders against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. Nielsen
snapped a wrist shot between the pads of Ben Bishop moments after
Valtteri Filppula rang a shot off the post to the right of Islanders goalie
Kevin Poulin at the other end. The Islanders had a seven-game road winning
streak snapped Tuesday at Florida. Tampa Bays Martin St. Louis beat Poulin from
the right circle to open the scoring on a power play 5:45 into the game,
capitalizing on a penalty-killing unit ranked last in the league. The Islanders
threatened to tie it while playing short-handed with six minutes left in the
second period. Casey Cizikas broke in on Bishop, but Teddy Purcell interfered
from behind. Vanek pulled New York even on a power play at 18:22 of the second,
taking a pass in the low slot from Nielsen and lifting it over a fallen Bishop.
