That might otherwise be closed to them

The Deaflympics give deaf athletes a chance to participate in a top-notch international athletic competition that might otherwise be closed to them.

Hi,

Is it right to interpret "otherwise" in the above as "in different manners/ways?" Thanks.

No. ... that might be closed to them if there were no such events for them to participate in.

otherwise = in different circumstances, i.e., if there were no Deaflympics progam.
