"I hardly take my eyes off the television set," the Cuban president wrote in the latest of a series of essays he has penned in recent months. "Sometimes I forget the hour of some meal, or a pill."
Castro mentioned watching Cuba's baseball team and the women's volleyball team in its game against the US "in which our players did everything perfect."
He also praised the women's and men's handball teams -- "What speed, what force!" he wrote -- and said he was absorbed by Cuban competitors in weightlifting, rowing, cycling and women's gymnastics. The government e-mailed the essay to international reporters in Havana.
