An otherwise fantastic routine

[Maybo]

Does “Biles stepped out of bounds twice during an otherwise fantastic routine” mean that except for the part that Biles stepped out of the bounds twice, other parts of the routine were fantastic?
I have difficulty understanding “otherwise”.

 

[SoothingDave]

Yes. Other than the stepping out-of-bounds, it was fantastic.

However, "fantastic routine" makes for an odd combination of words.

Have you seen her floor exercise performance? It's amazing!

Yes. Her movements were powerful.

It's amazing the height she can reach-- more than double her body length. The way she spins through the air and then somehow lands almost perfectly is breath-taking.

Her vaults are amazing too. Her level of difficulty is untouchable.

Yes. Aside from stepping out of bounds, it was fantastic.

It's perfectly natural to me. She did indeed perform a fantastic floor routine.
