On three occasions Kononov has finished runner-up in the Individual Ice Speedway World Championship title in 2011, 2017 and 2021. During the 2021 Championship he was in the lead on the last lap of the race-off with Dinar Valeev but hit a rut approaching the last two bends which allowed Valeev to overtake and claim the title for himself.[5][6]

He is a two times team world champion after winning the Team Ice Racing World Championship title with Russia in 2017 and 2020.[7][8]
