The elbow is closer to the wrist than to the shoulder.
Explanation:
Since the words proximal and distal refer to distance, and your question is posited regarding the elbow in connection to the wrist and shoulder, the length of the humerus being more than that of the radius and ulna makes the elbow closer to the wrist.
