Agata Sitko has had her foot on the gas pedal throughout the entire year, as she took part in nine sanctioned powerlifting competitions. Most recently, she competed at the 2022 EPF European Classic Powerlifting Championships, which took place from November 25th until December 4th, in Skierniewice, Poland. Agata decided to compete in the 84-kilogram weight class and managed to win the competition despite the fact that she didn’t score any new PRs or records.

Agata Sitko comfortably claimed the victory at the 2022 EPF European Championships having totaled 582.5 kilograms (1,284.2 pounds). Thorhallsdottir Kristin finished in second-place, having totaled 7.5 kilograms (16.5 pounds) less than Agata, while Azariah Ziana got third with a Total of 553.5 kilograms (1,220.3 pounds).

Agata Sitko’s Total 582.5-kilogram (1,284.2 pounds) is exactly the same as the current U84KG European Record. That record was also set by Agata at the 2022 IPF World Junior Classic Powerlifting Championships earlier this year. So, Sitko was very close to setting a new European Record.
