Okay, (And your english is not bad)

1. Start OI Problem Solving: Aim for a Codeforces rating around 1300-1600 before diving into OI problems.

2. At ~800 Rating: Focus on improving basic algorithms and problem-solving skills. Practice regularly on Codeforces.

3. OI Problem Lists: Check resources like OI-Related Online Judges, USACO Training Pages, and Codeforces Problemset.

4. Achieving a Bronze Medal in 1 Year: It’s possible with dedicated practice, structured study, and regular contest participation.

Additional Advice: Join competitive programming communities and seek mentorship if possible.
