  We investigate distality and existence of distal expansions in valued fields
and related structures. In particular, we characterize distality in a large
class of ordered abelian groups, provide an AKE-style characterization for
henselian valued fields, and demonstrate that certain expansions of fields,
e.g., the differential field of logarithmic-exponential transseries, are
distal. As a new tool for analyzing valued fields we employ a relative
quantifier elimination for pure short exact sequences of abelian groups.
