Perspective

Sitko began competing in powerlifting since 2019, and competed internationally since 2021.^[4] She competed in the raw and equipped junior championships, where she won silver in both of the competitions respectively in the 76 kilogram weight class. The same year, Sitko competed in the open category despite being 18 years old, and would win gold in the 76 kilogram weight class, and broke two junior world records.^[5]

In her first powerlifting competition in the 84 kilogram weight class, Sitko would break two open world records and three junior world records, and secured first place at the 2022 European Junior Equipped Championships.^[6]

Sitko qualified for the 2022 World Games^[7] at 19 years old, competing as a Heavyweight, and would secure first place.^[8]

At the 2023 Classic Powerlifting Championships, Sitko secured second place, and bench pressed 153 kilograms for an open world record, deadlifted 240 kilograms for a junior world record, and totaled 590.5 kilograms for a junior world record.^[9]

At the 2024 SBD Sheffield Powerlifting Championships, Sitko competed in the 69 kilogram weight class for the first time, and would break three open and junior world records. Her total world record would extend the previous open world record by 9.3%, and securing first place at the competition.^[10]

Sitko secured first place for the first time at the 2024 classic powerlifting world championships at age 21, as well as bench pressing 155 kilograms and totaling 613 kilograms for a junior and open world record.^[11]

At the 2024 Euro Muscle Show, Sitko competed in the 84 kilogram weight class, and bench pressed 156 kilograms for a junior and open world record, as well as a total of 618.5 kilograms for a junior total world record, surpassing Daniella Melo's junior total record.^[12]

At the 2025 SBD Sheffield Powerlifting Championships, Sitko returned to compete in the 69 kilogram weight class at age 22. She would further extend her own total world record to 628 kilograms. At the competition, she bench pressed a world record of 158 kilograms, a world record deadlift of 260 kilograms, and a junior world record squat of 210 kilograms. This performance extended her previous world record total by 4.67%. Sitko would win the championships and become the first to win for two consecutive years.^[13]

In July of 2025, Sitko withdrew from the 2025 World Games due to the IPF disallowing her coach, Pawel Jurczynski, to join the Polish team for the World Games to handle Sitko. As a result of withdrawing, Sitko's powerlifting license was suspended and has been prohibited from competing at IPF-sanctioned powerlifting competitions.^[14]^[15]
