The “Polish Powerhouse,” Agata Sitko, has had a busy 2024. In February, she was the overall winner at the 2024 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. In March, she took the top prize at the UK Arnold. In June, Sitko won her first classic Open world title at the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) Classic World Championships (CWC) in Druskininkai, Lithuania.
Only three weeks after her historic performance in Lithuania, Sitko was in action again, competing TWICE at the Euro Muscle Show in Amsterdam. On the second day of the contest, Sitko lifted in the classic powerlifting event. On squat, she went three-for-three, finishing on 210 kilograms for a lifetime best.
On bench press, Sitko hit a new Junior and Open world record of 150 kilograms on her opening attempt, making it look easy. She followed with 156 kilograms for her second. Check out the lift below, courtesy of the IPF’s Instagram page:
Sitko previously stated her goal of benching 160 kilograms. She tried on her final attempt, but it did not manifest. However, 156 kilograms was a lifetime personal best, eclipsing the 155.5-kilogram bench press she performed in Lithuania a short time ago.
Sitko broke the Junior total world record with her second deadlift. This record, which had previously belonged to Amanda Lawrence, stood at 613 kilograms since 2019.
With one lift remaining, Sitko came out for a 252.5-kilogram deadlift for yet another lifetime personal best. She pulled the Junior total world record to 618.5 kilograms. This secured the top prize of 3,000 Euros.
On the first day of competition, Sitko competed in the classic bench press. Her measured performance was enough to win her the €2,000 top prize, meaning Sitko secured €5,000 in prize money across the weekend.
Sitko did not attempt a third lift, having easily secured first place with her opening lift. She competed in the 84KG class but barely, weighing in at 77.92 kilograms. This is her third weight class of the year, having competed in the 69KG class at the 2024 Sheffield and the 76KG class at the 2024 IPF CWC.
