DAEGU, South Korea -- Usain Bolt didnt need his spikes anymore, at least not on this day. A few minutes after winning his heat Friday in the 200-metre semifinals at the world championships, the Jamaican showboater reared back and tossed a shoe into the upper deck at Daegu Stadium. One lucky fan got the souvenir of a lifetime. "Back to my normal self," Bolt said, five days after being disqualified from the 100 final because of a false start. "Im trying to enjoy the game as much as possible." As if thats a surprise. Besides setting records and winning gold medals, Bolt has become the star of the sport because of antics on the track. And Fridays show was more of the same. The Jamaican did a little dance in Lane 6 before reeling off a pseudo drum roll with his fingers. Then he patted down his hair as he was being introduced to the packed crowd. When the camera returned to him, he stood ready to box. With more cheers and the starter about to ask the runners to take their marks, Bolt put his finger to his lips and shushed them all. Once he got going, Bolt immediately gained ground on the rest of the runners in the field and had a clear lead by the time he came out of the bend. And while running for the finish line, the tall Jamaican had plenty of time to look up at the giant screen and see he was all alone. That was enough for him to slow down and coast into the final with a time of 20.31 seconds. "I know Im still the best, so Im focused on it," said Bolt, who is also expected to run for Jamaica in the 4x100 relay. Bolt came into the championships as the man to watch, and the man to beat. "Its Bolt. You can do nothing," said Reto Schenkel of Switzerland, who finished last in Bolts heat. "Hes tall. He makes one step and I make five steps. Its crazy. Its Bolt." After winning a sprint double at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in record-setting time, he broke his 100 and 200 world records at the 2009 worlds in Berlin. Daegu looked like it would be another stop along the way to a third straight 100-200 double, but then came the false start. He promised he would be back in the 200, and he has so far not disappointed. His time in the second heat of the semifinals was second only to Christophe Lemaitre of France, who won the opening heat in 20.17. "Expect always the best from me," Bolt said. "I always go out there and do my best."

For much of the lockout-delayed season, it didnt look good for them. The storied franchise used to chase Stanley Cup titles with key players in their late 30s and 40s such as Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios, Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull and Larry Murphy. Not anymore. As the Chicago Blackhawks are now finding out, the Red Wings are much better than they were during the regular season thanks to an improved cast of inexperienced players. "Weve had great growth from within, I think the most since Ive been in the National Hockey League for sure," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said Sunday. "That may be because we have a different type of team. We got a whole bunch of kids, so we have a chance for growth." Red Wings rookie Brendan Smith scored the winning goal Saturday in Detroits 4-1 win at Chicago that tied the series 1-1. The top-seeded Blackhawks won the opener by the same 4-1 score. "We knew they were going to come back and play much better than they did in Game 1," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. "Obviously, we didnt quite match the effort." When the puck drops Monday night in Detroit for Game 3, Toews hopes his team is ready to bounce back. "Theres no time to waste in this series," Toews said. "We know going into their building its even more difficult." It will be even more challenging for Chicago if Toews cant produce as he did in the 48-game regular season. Toews had 23 goals, tying Patrick Kane for the team lead and trailing just four players in the league. However, he is struggling to score for a third straight post-season. Toews is in an eight-game playoff slump that dates to last year. He has just three goals combined in three postseasons since scoring seven goals to help Chicago win the Cup in 2010. He had seven goals the previous post-season -- his first -- when Detroit eliminated the Blackhawks in the Western Conference finals. Henrik Zetterberg had a lot to do with holding Toews without a point in Game 2, an accomplishment that didnt surprise Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard. &quoot;Most nights, hes the best player on the ice," Howard said.dddddddddddd "No different from (Saturday), the way he was all over Toews the whole game, shutting him down. Were going to need that for the whole series." The Red Wings would also benefit if their inexperienced players figure out a way to avoid fading into the background. Before Smiths go-ahead goal on Saturday, first-year player Damien Brunner and rookie Gustav Nyquist also scored winning goals this post-season -- in overtime against Anaheim. Teammate Joakim Andersson ranks among rookie scoring leaders. The 27-year-old Brunner, too old to be a candidate for the Calder Trophy given to the rookie of the year, has followed up a 26-point regular season with four goals in the playoffs to match Johan Franzen for the team lead. He also has three assists. Calder finalist Brandon Saad has only one assist in seven post-season games for the Blackhawks. The 20-year-old forward had 27 points during the regular season. Brunner has insisted it doesnt bother him to be out of the running for the Calder, and sounded even more thankful on Sunday that he waited to make the jump from the Swiss League. The 5-foot-11, 184-pound forward was banged around on the ice quite a bit and had growing pains off it, dealing with a lot of travel after his longest trip last year was a 2 1/2-hour bus ride. "You kind of think its not that big of a deal when you come over, but after a couple trips and the hours you lose, especially when you come back home, its tough," Brunner said. "Its really tough." While Babcocks job behind the bench was tougher this year than it had been the past seven seasons with veteran-filled rosters, he relished the opportunity to lead the young Red Wings. "Its the most fun Ive had coaching in a couple years, by far, just because we have a real enthusiastic group," Babcock said. "At the start of the year, we werent a good team. We all understood that, but we buckled down and we got better. Its been fun for us. If you would have asked me before the playoffs, I wouldve told you the same thing. Then suddenly you have a little success in the playoffs -- and its more fun." ' ' '
