Personal life
Career
Early in his career, Talan competed with Julia Goreeva. They were the 2005 Ukrainian junior silver medalists and competed twice at the World Junior Championships, finishing 11th in 2006.
Talan teamed up with Kateryna Kostenko when she was 21 years old and he 17. Gold medalists at the 2009 Ukrainian Championships, they represented their country at the 2008 and 2009 European Championships, 2010 World Championships, and 2010 Winter Olympics. They ended their competitive career in 2010 and began coaching in Dnipropetrovsk.
In February 2013, Talan teamed up with Elizaveta Usmantseva, whom he had coached earlier. Usmantseva/Talan made their debut late in the 2012–13 season, at the 2013 Coupe du Printemps. In September 2013, they finished eighth at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, the last qualifying event for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Their result gave Ukraine a spot in the Olympic pairs' event but it was assigned to Julia Lavrentieva / Yuri Rudyk. They turned down a test skate for the 2014 World Championships in order to treat Usmantseva's spinal disc herniation.
Usmantseva/Talan were assigned to replace Berton/Hotarek at the 2014 Skate America but later withdrew as well.{{cite web | url = http://isuprod.blob.core.windows.net/media/156261/gp_pairs_updated-july-22.pdf | title = 2014-15 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating - Pairs | date = July 22, 2014 | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140722172217/http://isuprod.blob.core.windows.net/media/156261/gp_pairs_updated-july-22.pdf | archivedate = July 22, 2014 }} They ended their partnership in December 2014.
