Abstract: For every metric space $mathcalX$ in which there exists a sequence of finite groups of bounded-size generating set that does not embed coarsely, and for every unbounded, increasing function $ho$, we produce a group of subexponential word growth all of whose imbeddings in $mathcalX$ have distortion worse than $ho$. This applies in particular to any B-convex Banach space $mathcalX$, such as Hilbert space.
