Anne Sophie Hunstad in 2018

Anne Sophie Hunstad (born 20 September 1954) is a Norwegian sports official and politician for the Labour Party

She holds the cand.mag. degree, and worked in secondary schools, chiefly as a teacher, from 1982 to 2000.[1] She was active in athletics in the 1970s and 1980s. In the early 1970s she represented the club Lillehammer IF. She won a bronze medal in javelin throw at the Norwegian Championships in 1972.[2] Later representing the club IL i BUL, she set a personal best in the shot put in July 1977 in Moelv, with 12.54 metres.[3] She later represented the club Heimdal IF. She achieved 32.40 metres in the discus throw in June 1978 in Stjørdal,[4] and 47.72 in the javelin throw (old type) in July 1983 in Trondheim.[5]

She is currently the chair of Sør-Trøndelag Athletics District Organization (since 2009, previously also 2003 to 2007). She chaired the sports clubs Nidelv IL from 1999 to 2004 and SK Trondheims-Ørn from 2006 to 2009, and was a board member of Trondhjems SK since 2006 and the Norwegian Athletics Association from 2007 to 2011.[1] In 2011, she was suggested by the election committee for a spot on the board of the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports.[6] At the Confederation's national convention, however, the politicking went against the wishes of the Norwegian Athletics Association and others, and Hunstad withdrew her candidacy.[7]

In politics, she was a member of Trondheim city council from 1991 to 2003 and Sør-Trøndelag county council from 2007 to 2011. She was a municipal commissioner from 1999 to 2003, and in 2003 she was hired as a political adviser for the city's mayor Rita Ottervik.[1][8]

She has chaired Røros Museum since 2007, chaired the Norwegian State Housing Bank in Central Norway from 2006 to 2009 (board member since 1997) and was a board member of Trondheim og Omegn Boligbyggelag from 2004 to 2006.[1]
