Despite claiming the gold and the 5,000€ grand prize, Sitko, competing in the 76KG class, was not fully satisfied with her performance. When relaying the result on her Instagram page, she wrote:
“Amazing result on a shitty day. I’m very happy with my total, but I’m mad that I only got six attempts because of stupid technical mistakes. Honestly, that third pull saved the entire day; I’d be so mad if I didn’t get it. Lessons were learned, and we won’t make the same mistakes next time.”
Sitko still shattered her previous IPF world record raw bench press by 4.5 kilograms.
