He was ejected from a game against the Czech Republic at the 2022 World Men's Curling Championship after smashing his broom. The head of the brush popped off, and landed on the adjacent sheet in front of U.S. skip Korey Dropkin while he was throwing. Gonin was apologetic when he retrieved his brush head, and Dropkin made his shot anyway.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/curling/news/italian-curler-ejected-from-game-at-vegas-world |title=Italian Curler Ejected From Game at Vegas Worlds |magazine=Sports Illustrated |access-date=8 April 2022}} Despite the incident, Gonin was awarded the Collie Campbell Memorial Award for sportsmanship at the event.
