Serbia’s victory at the 2022 FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Championships wasn’t the only repeat from the 2018 edition of the tournament. Awarded as the Most Valuable Player four years ago, star opposite Tijana Boskovic did it again on Saturday after she led her national team to an undefeated campaign in the Netherlands and Poland.
Boskovic ended the 19th edition of the World Championship ranked fourth in points scored with 216 (195 kills, 13 blocks, eight aces). Her importance for her team is highlighted by the fact that the next Serbian on the list, outside hitter Bianka Busa, had just 89 points scored across 12 matches.
“I just enjoy being on the court and I think that’s the most important thing,” she said after Serbia’s gold medal match victory against Brazil. “I just enjoy playing volleyball, that’s all.”
