Matile Sitagata

Matile Sitagata (born August 17, 1992) is a Samoan Oceania, Pacific Games and Junior World Champion in the sport of powerlifting.

Matile only started training for powerlifting after the 2011 Pacific Games which were held in Nouméa, New Caledonia in September.

At her first powerlifting competition in December 2011 it was obvious that she was a real talent and that she was going to be a great champion.

In 2015, she was denied the chance to win her third Junior World crown in Finland due to funding limitations but made up for this by breaking numerous records in Port Moresby PNG at the 2015 Pacific Games.

Besides winning the gold medal in the 84+kg class[8] she set four Junior World Records[9] and broke an Open WR with 237.5 kg in the deadlift.
