How Mark Taylor and Kyle Fleming became the ONLY Scottish athletes in history to win Masters and Junior class at the NABBA Universe... and did it in the same year
TWO athletes were more than a little surprised to see the statistics from last month's Mr Universe when sent them from NABBA.
Already buzzing from their titles of Junior and Masters Over 45 Mr Universe, Mark Taylor, below, and Kyle Fleming, from Fife, were given another admirable accolade – they are the only Scotsmen in history to win these respective classes at the prestigious competition.

Speaking exclusively to frontdouble.com, Taylor said: "I got sent the list from NABBA archives and it was amazing to see I was only Scot in history to win the Master's Over 40/45 class.
"Young Kyle [below], who I prep and train with, was also the only junior in history to win that class. It is a great feeling and achievement. When you see the lists of all the winners of these two classes, it is awesome for Scotland."

Here are the list of winners from those two classes, going back to when they were introduced:
