  Yes, I think they are wearing the sunglasses to protect their eyes. They are skating on the ice which can reflex the light and formed glare which might impair the vision or even cause temporary blindness. Sunglasses would effectively reduce the glare. In the game of speed skating, their speed is very high and track is comparatively narrow. Once their vision is impacted, it could be very dangerous. So it is better to wear the sunglasses in this game.
