==Culture and sports== The Sjøborg theatre, on Ulsteinvik's waterfront, has both film and live theatre venues. It shows a mixture of "global" and [[Cinema of Norway|Norwegian]] feature films (3-5 different films at a time over 10-12 showings per week). In addition, it welcomes a mixture of local and touring live acts, including big band, operatic revues, English- and Norwegian-language dramatic productions and stand-up comedy. Ulsteinvik is the home of [[IL Hødd]], a multi-sport club that includes a [[Adeccoligaen|Norwegian First Division]] (as of 2011) football team. The team has a large local following, and generates strong attendance at their stadium, Høddvoll. Hødd also offers several other sports, including [[Team handball|handball]] and [[rhythmic gymnastics]]. In 2012, Hødd became national cup champions of Norway, beating [[Tromsø IL]] in the final of the [[2012 Norwegian Football Cup]] in the [[Ullevaal Stadion]] in [[Oslo]]. In addition, Ulsteinvik is the home of smaller clubs in each of [[basketball]] and [[rugby union]] (Sunnmøre Rugby). It is also the hometown of men's [[400 metres hurdles|400m hurdles]] world record holder and Olympic champion [[Karsten Warholm]], as well as Norway's first-choice [[Goalkeeper (association football)|football goalkeeper]] in the Beijing Olympics, [[Erika Skarbø]]. Ulsteinvik is the birthplace of the [[underground comix|underground]] [[cartoonist]] [[Øystein Runde]].
