Action begins at 3 a.m. ET.
Canada has two skaters vying for a spot on the Olympic podium: Graeme Fish, of Moose Jaw, Sask., and Ted-Jan Bloemen, of Calgary, who will compete in the first and sixth pairings, respectively, when competition begins.
Fish, 24, overcame a bout with COVID-19 that forced him to miss two World Cup events leading into what was supposed to be the last-chance Olympic qualifiers in late December. The Omicron surge led to those events being cancelled.
The young skater made a full recovery and was nominated to the team for Beijing, where he will be making his Olympic debut.
Meanwhile, Bloemen, 35, enters the 2022 Winter Olympics having won gold in the 10,000m distance at PyeongChang 2018, where the Dutch-born skater also captured silver in the 5,000m event.
All the action will be streamed live on CBC Gem, the CBC Sports app and CBC Sports' Beijing 2022 website.
