I think Competitive Programming 4 (Book 1) would be a good reference for IOI considering how well the IOI teams trained by the main author (Dr Steven Halim) do every year (4 IOI medals is a nearly a yearly affair).

Also, this book has gone through many iterations of revisions and auditing by international readers.

Thus, I think it is likely to help you in your IOI quest.
