Team USA has had an incredible run in Rio, but Serbia has been crushing it as well so the teams should be pretty evenly matched. Volleyball legend Karch Kiraly, 55, is at the helm as head coach of the team for the first time and he knows what it takes to achieve Olympic glory, with three gold medals of his own during his storied career. If he can drive the women all the way to the top of the podium, he’ll become the first ever person to win a volleyball gold medal as both a coach and player.
