From what I can see the norms still alive going into the last round are:

Group A: Rajat Makkar needs to win for an IM norm. From his father's Facebook page though he made his fourth norm in February this year and already has the 2400+ rating. He also has one GM norm from the 2023 Northumbria Masters.

Group B: Olsen v Stremavicius. Both players need to win for a GM norm. Stremavicius (an FM) has already scored an IM norm (5.5 needed) which will be his third. Olsen (an IM) currently has one GM norm.

Group C: Ribeiro Rodrigo needs a draw & Can Durak a win for an IM norm.

Group C: Can Durak won to reach 7/9 and an IM norm, Ribeiro Rodrigo lost so misses out.
