A few rising stars in the sport of powerlifting have surprised everyone in recent times, but it seems like no one has been as dominant as Agata Sitko. Agata competed at the 2022 EPF European Open, Junior & Sub-Juniors Equipped Powerlifting Championships. The competition took place on May 3-8, 2022, in Pilsen, Czech Republic. After comfortably winning the 84-kilogram weight class, Agata Sitko also had the highest IPF GL score across all weight classes, which means that she was the greatest female lifter in the Junior division.
Agata Sitko excelled in every event at this competition and scored Five IPF Equipped World Records. Of those, she set three records in the Junior age division, while also scoring two records in the Open age division.

Agata Sitko was competing in the 84-kilogram weight class, but weighed in at only 77.9 kilograms (171.7 pounds). So it is unclear if she plans to continue competing in the 84-kilogram weight class or to cut down and annihilate the World Records in the 76-kilogram division as well.
