Life and work

The story behind the role.

Polish strength athlete, keto dietitian.

Aneta Florczyk (pseudonym Atena; born 26 February 1982) is a Polish strongwoman. She is the only 4 times winner of the World's Strongest Woman competition. Born in Malbork, Florczyk started her career at the age of 16, as a powerlifter. She won Polish Championships several times, and in 2000 became European Champion. As a first Polish athlete, she has broken the barrier of 500 kg in powerlifting. After she had been suspended in national team (the suspension has later been proven unfounded and overruled by the court), she began training weightlifting, becoming Polish Champion in juniors and vice Champion in seniors. Since 2002, she started training on the equipment typical for strongwoman contests and only a year later won the World's Strongest Woman in Zambia. In 2004 she won the Europe's Strongest Woman in Ireland. She continued her World's Strongest Woman dominance by winning the title again in 2005, 2006 and 2008. Her winning percentage of 75% is the highest by any strongwoman in history.
