Alexander Melei Rose (born 17 November 1991) is a Samoan-American athlete, competing primarily in the discus throw and occasionally in the shot put and the hammer throw. He represented Samoa at the 2016 Olympics, and 2020 Summer Olympics, as well as the Commonwealth Games and Pacific Games.

Life

Although born in the United States, Rose holds dual citizenship with Samoa, since his father was born there and emigrated to the US as a 19-year-old. He threw for Central Michigan University.

He represented Samoa in the 2013 World Championships in Athletics and the 2015 World Championships in Athletics, failing to qualify for the final on both occasions. He had success at the Oceania Athletics Championships, with eight gold medals in three different throwing events. At the 2022 World Athletics Championships he came 8th in the world and made the final.

On 14 July 2022 he was selected as part of Samoa's team for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

His personal best in the discus was 66.91 metres (Claremont, California, 19 July 2019), until he improved his national record to 67.48m at the University of Arizona on 22 May 2021.
