While we shelter from this abominable mid-January weather, one of Canada's most dominant athletes returns home, speed skaters hit the fastest ice on earth and ski racers take on their sport's most frightening course. Here's what to watch in the world of winter Olympic sports this weekend:

Freestyle skiing: The King returns

Moguls star Mikaël Kingsbury is back in his home province of Quebec for a pair of World Cup events at Val Saint-Come. He'll compete in the men's moguls tonight at 7 p.m. ET and the dual moguls on Saturday at the same time.

Kingsbury, 31, has 84 World Cup wins, the most ever for a moguls skier. The 2018 Olympic gold medallist and eight-time world champion has reached the podium in all seven of his starts this season, including four victories. Read about the younger Canadian mogulists marking their mark on the World Cup tour in this story by CBC Sports' Signa Butler.

Canada's top ski cross racers will also compete on home snow at this weekend's World Cup stop at Nakiska resort near Calgary. Jared Schmidt has a big lead in the men's standings after winning three straight times in December, while his sister Hannah ranks third in the women's chase. Last month in Switzerland, the Schmidts became the first two siblings to win World Cup ski cross events on the same day.

Nakiska is hosting men's and women's events on both Saturday and Sunday starting at 2:15 p.m. ET.

Speed skating: Four Continents Championships on the fast track

The rest of the world's answer to the European championships runs tonight through Sunday at the Utah Olympic Oval near Salt Lake
