Bryzgalova and Krushelnitckii competed in the contest with Norway's athletes Kristin Skaslien and Magnus Nedregotten, winning with the 8:4 score.
The tournament was presented in two stages. Eight national teams competed in the mixed doubles curling round robin in the first stage to secure the places in the semi-finals.
After a solid winning streak of Russian duo against Norwegian, Finnish and Chinese teams, reigning world champions Jenny Perret and Martin Rios from Switzerland defeated on Sunday Russian couple 7:5, securing the place in the finals against Canadian duo John Morris and Kailyn Lawes.
However, athletes Bryzgalova and Krushelnitckii have won the first Olympic medals in the history of Russian curling.
