Agata Sitko (76KG) Sweeps Junior & Open Bench Press World Records at 2023 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships

Muscle Insider

New member
At only 20-years-old, Agata Sitko is one of the greatest powerlifting athletes in the world, especially in the bench press event. Competing in the stacked 76-kilogram weight class, Agata managed to impress everyone at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships. Having hoped to improve on her second-place finish from last year, Agata brought her best to the platform. She had an identical placement, finishing second once again, but Agata also put up a record-breaking outing in the bench press event.
Agata Sitko opened up with a 145-kilogram (319.7 pounds) bench press and made it look smooth like butter. So, she made a massive jump to 153 kilograms (337.3 pounds) for her second attempt. She was once again successful, so this marked a new IPF Raw World Record. Agata also tried to lift heavier on her third attempt, but was unsuccessful in further advancing the mark.
With this lift, Agata Sitko set new World Records in both the Junior and Open age classes. Both of the records were in her possession beforehand as well, having bench pressed 146 kilograms (321.9 pounds) at the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships.

Agata Sitko’s Full Performance
The Bench Press was Agata Sitko’s only Open IPF World Record, but she set an additional two Junior IPF World Records. Those came in the Deadlift and Total events. However, even with all of this, Agata was unable to secure the title in the 76-kilogram weight class.
Contrary to what was predicted going into the competition, neither Jessica Buettner nor Agata Sitko won the 76-kilogram weight class. Instead, Tongotea Karlina of New Zealand won the title after a masterclass across all three events.
