Make sure you don't have missing links. Your understanding of base concepts must be rock solid before going forward into more complex subjects.

I find it easy to solve normal-difficulty basic math problems. What I want to know is how to reach a level where I can solve olympiad questions comfortably.

Most professors can't solve olympiad questions. Olympiad questions are a different kind of math. They're not about knowledge. Either you have the right IQ for them or you don't. This is a skill that can't be trained.

some of these tudents here didn't have that skill at all at the beginning, atleast according to their own admission which may be out of humility

nobody cares about the high school olympiad scam. Any problem in any GTM book blows your precious olympiad problems out of the fucking water in terms of difficulty and creativity required

A lot of people consider advanced algebra and trigonometry to be college math, and to my understanding, "olympiad" stuff doesnt involve calculus

>Being in depth
The book isn't in-depth retard. Its treatment of set theory is incredibly shallow despite being long. Look at Bogachev's series on measure theory if you really want to see what 1000 pages of an in depth treatment of a topic looks like.
Just read Shilov for fuck's sake. There are NO prerequisites. Analysis books like Amann Escher or Zorich also treat all the topics contained in your abortion of a textbook and more all while introducing you to proofs

Do not bother posting on /sci/ ever again. You're more likely to get helpful answers through Google or even Youtube and TikTok.
You get good by practicing, researching a topic as you need and watching other people solve problems.
