Winners of Olympic silver at Rio 2016 and gold medalists at the 2018 FIVB world championships, the Serbians swept their way to the podium at Ariake Arena, 25-18, 25-15, 25-15.

A 6-foot-4 star who boasts one of the hardest serves in the game, Boscovic, 24, twice broke the Olympic record she set in Rio (62mph) on consecutive third-set aces Sunday, her serves hitting 64 and 65 mph.

Kim Yeon-Koung and Park Jeon-Ah were among the standouts for South Korea.  

Serbia's dominance came despite having Brankica Mihajlovic on the sidelines.
