Eldrew had a cleaner routine with Karimi having a fall during his routine that led to a 7.766 E-score.
Tears of joy fell after Eldrew’s bronze medal became official at the conclusion of the event as he was hugged by head coach Aldrin Castaneda.
Only Hao Tian of China and reigning Olympic horizontal bar champion Oka Shinnosuke of Japan had better scores than Yulo.
Tian won his second gold of the Asiad with a score of 14.700, followed by Shinnosuke with 14.033.
Eldrew’s bronze came after his brother Caloy picked up gold medals in the floor exercise on Thursday and the vault on Friday afternoon.
